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 regularly, and is responsible for the spiritual oversight of the congregation.
All pastoral concerns can be directed to the members of the Session.
Rev. Cameron Weir
Minister
(Teaching Elder)
Cameron grew up on a farm in Bendigo and met his wife while studying at the Presbyterian Theological College.
Cameron and Annie are thrilled to be back living in the country, and raising their young family in Colac. 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.

Mission Statement
Hear
Through the Holy Spirit, God gives eternal life to those who trust in Jesus for their salvation.
Faith comes from hearing the message about Jesus.
We therefore prioritise the preaching and teaching of God’s Word (the Bible) in the ministry of our church.
Romans 10:14-17, Acts 2:36b-38, 2 Timothy 3:16-17
Serve
God has saved us for a life of service—not only to Him but also to each other. We want to serve God because He first served us by sending Jesus to die for our sins.
Deuteronomy 13:4, Philippians 2:5-11,
Mark 10:43-45, James 2:14-17
Live
Through the Holy Spirit, God gives eternal life to those who trust in Jesus for their salvation.
We hope to see this reality manifested through transformed lives that glorify and honour God.

Romans 10:9-11, Ephesians 2:1-10, 2 Corinthians 5:17-18, Romans 12:1-2
Share
We want to share with others not only the Gospel, but our lives as well. We desire that our church would be a loving community of believers who proclaim the good news of Jesus.
Matthew 28:18-20, 1 Peter 3:15, 1 Thessalonians 2:7b-8
