Amanda Lyons - Children's and Families Minister

Amanda first heard about Jesus at school, and cheerfully became a Christian when she was fourteen. At uni, she studied music performance (playing the oboe), but got pretty passionate about working with young people and their families in and through church. Now she works at St Mark’s four days a week, studying the Bible and ministry skills at Ridley Melbourne on the side. Coordinating the ministries for children and families, she works with the Sunday Club, Christian Religious Education, Playgroup, Mustard and other teams, to build up the leaders involved and help families discover God, and his great love and purposes for us.
Amanda loves alternative music, pavlova, watching television, rock climbing, updating her facebook status far too often, chai lattes and anything to do with people.
