Primary School Teacher, Clare Wimble, joined the Schools Ministry team in January 2011 and has extensive experience in education, having completed a Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood) and a Bachelor of Teaching (Primary). During her time as a teacher, Clare worked in England, rural NSW and the Sutherland Shire. In 2008, Clare studied at Sydney Missionary and Bible College (SMBC) where she gained a Diploma of Theology and an Advanced Diploma of Ministry and developed a love of preaching. Clare thinks it is an amazing privilege to preach the good news of Jesus with kids and teenagers in schools each term. She seeks to live by her favourite Bible verse, Acts 20:24 – “I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me – the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace.”

After originally working in the Film & TV industry, Dan studied at SMBC and went on to serve in church-based youth and young adults’ ministries. This has given him heaps of experience over the last ten years teaching SRE, primary and high school lunchtime groups, on Christian camps and at youth groups. He loves evangelism, preaching and discipleship. Dan loves Jesus, his wife Anna, daughters Natalia and Emilia, and the chance to share the gospel while supporting others doing the same.  

Jason has worked in pastoral ministry overseeing youth and integration at St Matt’s West Pennant Hills over the past few years and joined the Schools Ministry team in 2020. He has completed a Diploma of Theology and a Bachelor of Theology degree (SMBC/Morling College). Jason has a heart to see young people come to faith and be able to share the gospel in schools. He has preached on CRU Camps over the past few years and loves seeing how Jesus changes lives over the course of the week. He is excited to be able to teach and equip students to be faithful disciples of Jesus throughout their time at school. Jason is married to Nicole and they have a little puppy called Luna. He is a tragic Wests Tigers supporter, loud drummer and is able to quote every episode of The Office. 

Tom became a Christian as a child when his Mum explained the gospel to him. In high school he attended Knox Grammar where he was a regular member of the CRU Group, going on to lead the group in Year 12. As a student Tom loved going to his local youth group, and after seven years of leading that hasn’t changed! Tom studied at Youthworks College in 2016 and is completing his theological training part-time at SMBC. Tom joined the Schools Ministry team in 2023 after four years on staff at St James Turramurra as a ministry apprentice and student minister. He’s also worked as a High School SRE teacher on the Northern Beaches. Tom is really excited about discipling students and seeing God work powerfully in schools! Tom is engaged to Sarah (married in October), a cricket tragic, a John Mayer fanboy, and an aspiring 500 player.
