My name is Gregg Weaver and I am married to Kathryn. We have two adult daughters who live in Melbourne. We joined Follow six months after it commenced and are fully committed to seeing it flourish as an evangelical community-centred congregation. I have been a disciple of Christ since my teenage years. I have spent my adult life in the field of education and currently serve as Head of Hillcrest Christian College in Clyde North. I enjoy friends, reading, writing, the outdoors, and an avid Geelong Cats fan.

Hi, I'm Ray Grainger, married to Raewyn for the past 43 years, we have 3 adult sons and a daughter who continue to live out their own faith journey. God has proved His grace is sufficient in every case! Miraculous answers to prayer and amazing provision has set my belief in God's sovereignty. A past business owner, lover of outdoor activities, practical ability in construction and mechanical tasks, God has proved faithful in all things! Serving in eldership, set up/ pack up, bless collective and building team. Loving the journey!

I, Paul Williams have been a disciple of Jesus Christ since 17 years of age. I am married to Jenni; we have 3 sons & 7 grandchildren. We have both been members of Follow since its beginning. I am a semi-retired builder. It’s been a huge joy to watch our church grow & spread into the local community. My hope is that we as Gods Church will continue to influence many more people to our faith.
