Matt started at Kruger in January 2013 after pastoring on the Gold Coast for 8years, working with youth and young adults. He is passionate about seeing people grow in their faith in Jesus, and loves making the gospel message make sense to people from all ages and backgrounds of life.

Matt is married to his wonderful wife, Kirsten, and has three kids. He loves spending time with them all. You’ll often see them tearing around the streets on their regular family bike rides! Outside of church and family, he loves having a laugh with friends, watching the footy (NRL or rugby), going for a run and playing touch footy.

 

I have called Kruger home since I was 3 years old in 2005. I have loved growing up here, surrounded by many amazing people teaching me about God’s love. 

I grew up through all of our kids ministry programs with admiration for all of my leaders. So, of course I had to become one myself. I have been serving in kids ministry since 2015 and have enjoyed nurturing my passion for working with kids and youth. I started my internship in January 2023 and look forward to learning more about teaching the word of God to our future church leaders. 

Outside of Kruger I am a Nurse, I enjoy baking, going on adventures with friends and having movie nights with family. 

I have been working in the office since January 2016 and attending Kruger since 2013. I help out with our Kids Church ministry and enjoy being involved in our community events.

I am married to Joel, and they have 2 kids and they all enjoy camping, AFL and taking their dogs for walks.

I love to stay active with baseball and touch football, enjoy sewing and baking and regular catch ups with friends.

Josh is the latest addition to the Kruger family, bringing with him 15 years of experience as a school chaplain in both primary and high schools across the Gold Coast.

His passion is fostering connections within the local community and nurturing spiritual growth within the church.

Josh is married to the amazing Laura and they have four wonderful children. Outside of work you will find Josh exploring nature trails with his sons or casting lines pretending to be a fisherman.

Kruger has been my home church since it was built in 1992! I’ve loved growing up in this church, serving in various ministries and being part of this wonderful community of believers.

I am married to Joel and we have 2 beautiful girls. We all love spending time outdoors, particularly in our garden with out ducks and chooks. In my spare time I enjoy cooking, art and getting stuck into home/garden projects.

As Care coordinator I look after our church Life Groups, an area that I feel passionate about. Joel and I have been part of a life group since 2007 and it has been vital to my walk with God.
