Meet Vince & Denise…
Married in Brisbane in 1979, we began a ministry journey that has now spanned nearly five decades. From our early years in Queensland to 34 years of church planting and evangelistic ministry in France, God has consistently called us to build authentic, outward-focused churches in secular contexts.
In 2020, we returned to Australia believing that our church-planting years were behind us. Yet the Lord had other plans. Before long, we were once again involved in planting and pastoring a new church community in the northern suburbs of Brisbane. Alongside this local ministry, we continue to teach, mentor, and equip leaders and churches more broadly.
We invite you to discover more about our ministry experience and connect with us.
OUR CHURCH
Brisbane Northside Church
A vibrant, growing church community reaching out to the northern suburbs of Brisbane.
Brisbane Northside Church is a young church with a simple and outward-focused approach. We value Spirit-led worship, clear and faithful teaching of God’s Word, and genuine fellowship together, often continuing over Sunday lunch.
We are deeply committed to reaching our local community with the Gospel and creating a church environment where visitors feel welcomed and at ease. Many who come are exploring faith, returning after time away, or looking for a church family where they can belong and grow.
Brisbane Northside Church is part of the Crosslink Christian Network, a movement of churches across Australia and beyond.

A Lifetime of Gospel Ministry
For nearly five decades, Vince and Denise have served in pastoral ministry, evangelism, and church planting across different cultures and contexts.
What began in Queensland in the late 1970s led to 34 years of ministry in France and continues today in Brisbane’s northern suburbs.
Throughout the years, their desire has remained constant: to see people come to Christ, churches established on strong biblical foundations, and leaders raised up for long-term ministry.
By God’s grace, that calling has borne lasting fruit.
Ministry Impact
- 50 years in pastoral and evangelistic ministry
- 34 years serving God in France
- More than 30 churches planted across cultures
- Ministry experience in three cultural contexts
- Decades of training emerging leaders and church planters
While contexts have changed, the message and mission remain the same.
