Rani Wood
Pastoral Care Support
“I love people! I believe we are each a unique, loved and an unrepeatable gift to this world. Pastoral care for me is about seeing the beloved in each person, listening and attending to what is unfolding within each of us, at every stage of life.”
“I believe in honouring each person’s story and reflecting back their own God-given worth. I value working as part of a team as representatives of God’s love, faithfulness, compassion, mercy and respect.”
” I love singing with others, nature, eating chicken biriani and spending quality time with family and friends. Our move to Melbourne has truly been a tree change and I am a fan of four seasons- even in one day!”

David Landis-Morse
Mission Development Facilitator
After 11 years in the Sycamore Tree, David has now moved into Mission Development for the Banyule Network. This role is to look at new ways of being church and will involve developing and supporting new communities in their quest to be church in a relevant way to the wider world.
He has a special interest in faith formation for the queer community.
He has been completing his Masters in Theological Studies and loves seeing where life, faith and culture collide.
He can always be tempted with a talk – especially combined with a coffee, and something sweet.

We have chosen to work together to love and serve God in our neighbourhood and the wider world. We warmly welcome you to share with us in worship, and in our community life and outreach.
