Bradd Trebilco

Lead Pastor
bradd@tabiblechapel.org.nz

My one great love and passion is the Scriptures and who they reveal, and my primary role at TABC is to provide discipleship through teaching, equipping, and shepherding God’s people.

As a family, we enjoy getting outdoors – whether it’s water skiing, snow skiing, fishing, mountain biking, hiking, or getting in the garden – that is where we find family fun!

Shane Wildermoth

Associate Pastor
shane@tabiblechapel.org.nz

My wife, Rene, and I have been back from the Philippines since 2009. My main role is to bring the gospel to the community and give opportunities to our church family to become involved in evangelism - this includes Bible studies, preaching, and teaching. I really enjoy watching rugby but as I am a builder by trade, you will often find me building too.

Lyndon Frost

Associate Pastor
lyndon@tabiblechapel.org.nz

My job here involves overseeing our families ministries right from créche through to youth group, young adults and parenting. I have a passion for raising up leaders and growing our young people in the gospel. I am married to Abi and we have three young kids; Cecelia, Seth, and Florence (they’re awesome). In my free time, you can find me getting outside, spending time with my family, and drinking good coffee.

Carey Ireland

Women's Discipleship Coordinator & Communications Director
carey@tabiblechapel.org.nz

The communications role is quite broad, but in a nutshell, I take care of all the written and visual things! I also get to be a part of connecting women with each other and working to help them grow, as well as helping to run women's events. I recently finished studying a Master of Arts in Ministry Leadership with a concentration of Ministry to Women. Outside of work, I love to dance and I teach ballet classes. You might not know this, but I used to play the bagpipes!

Peta Macdonald

Accounts/Admin

My husband, Ian, and I have 4 married children. We have lived in Te Awamutu since our arrival in New Zealand from Zimbabwe in 2003. I love catching up with family and friends - people interaction is top of my list!! Any leftover spare time is spent gardening, sewing, or doing other practical tasks around the home.

Helen Morris

Counsellor
027 295 8837

As a counsellor, I meet with people who want to talk about difficulties in their life that might be really hard for them to work through on their own. I love to read, garden, keep fit, and like to prioritise catching up with friends in my spare time.

Here at the Chapel, I manage the accounts, payments, payroll and the like. I am married to Graeme and we have been blessed with four boys; Jamie, Adam, Liam, and Ryan - and also our little dog Rosie. I love to do ‘crafty stuff in my spare time, including house decorating and sewing.

Trent Robinson

Ignite Youth Coordinator
trent@tabiblechapel.org.nz

My role is to make sure the weekly youth group program runs well, and I also coordinate the youth social events. My downtime is spent hanging out with friends, and playing music (I play the drums). Funny story, I once told someone I was going to go to Bible School and they misheard me and thought I said ‘Barber School’, and as a result now I’m a qualified Barber!

Meredith Stewart

Powerhouse Coordinator
powerhouse@tabiblechapel.org.nz

We aim to provide a Bible-based, fun-filled, interactive programme for tamariki aged 5-12 on Sundays during the school term. We love working alongside children and their whānau in our church and community, aspiring to grow together. We have four sons and look forward to any excuse to light an outdoor fire and toast marshmallows!

Rebekah Stock

Communications Writer

My role is in the written side of communications, from our weekly E-News and Chapel Chatter, to managing our Facebook page and website! I love connecting people with what's happening at the Chapel. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, listening to music, and spending time with family and friends.

Shania Yates

Communications Assistant & Graphic Designer
shania@tabiblechapel.org.nz

My role is helping take care of the visuals here at TABC, anything from sermon series graphics to event posters and anything in between. I love creating visuals that capture the heart of the message and inspire and connect with those who encounter them. I’m currently finishing up my Bachelor of Design at Waikato Uni, with a focus on graphic design, product design and a side of computer science. I am married to my best friend Jack, and in my free time I enjoy hanging out with friends and family, and doing anything creative!
