Meet Our Pastoral Team

Elders

The term 'Presbyterian' comes from the biblical Greek word ‘presbuteros’ meaning Elder.

Each Presbyterian Church has a body of Elders which function as a team, called a Session, which governs the local church. Session takes account of the needs and concerns of members, but has authority for decision making in the life of the church.

​

The Session meets monthly, and is responsible for the spiritual oversight of the congregation.

All pastoral concerns can be directed to the members of the Session. 

Rev. Ben Johnson

Interim Moderator

(Warrnambool Presbyterian Church)

Ben came to Pastor WPC in January 2008 and Louise is a secondary school teacher.

Now empty nesting with their three children in three different states, Ben and Louise look after a Red and Blue Heeler at home (Maggie and Indi).  They enjoy being active outdoors and being inside with books or film media.  

More than anything else, they love to see people come to know Jesus and enjoy the blessing of living in community with others as disciples of Jesus.

Cameron Weir

Licentiate Minister

(Teaching Elder)

Cameron grew up on a farm in Bendigo and met Annie while studying at the Presbyterian Theological College. Now a graduate, Cameron has been sent to Colac to commence full-time ministry! Cameron and Annie are thrilled to be back living in the country, and raising their young family. Cam loves all things mechanical, hunting & fishing, and tinkering on his projects.

Above all, he loves the truth of the Gospel and sharing its powerful message with anyone who desires to hear.
