Tim on Sabbatical Leave!

Every seven years of work in Christian ministry, Tim has taken Sabbatical leave. His leave began on 1 October and he returns to his normal work after a couple of holiday weeks in January 2026.

If you need urgent assistance for church or leadership related matters or wish to place a booking in Tim’s diary for next year, Luke Morgan (luke@communitas.net.au) would be open to discussing the situation. Luke also has access to Tim’s diary and can see dates that might be available in the new year.

If the discussion can wait till the new year, feel free to book a time to talk to Tim at https://meetwithtim.as.me/letstalkpossibilities

Diocese of Sydney – 2025 Wollongong Regional Conference

Faithful hearts

I have enjoyed being at the Southern Regional Ministry Conference at Nowra and to catch up with many old and new friends. It has particularly encouraging to talk with quite a number who have been involved in Focus on Ministry groups within this region. The theme of this conference was on faithful hearts and Bishop Peter asked me to reflect on what I had learned over the years around three specific topics. These are listed below:

Presentations and resources from our 3 sessions together are attached below:

Refresh Camp – Presbyterian Church of NSW

Welcome

Welcome to ‘the johnmark extension’, my current primary website. If you have attended a seminar or training day that I have facilitated, the notes and resources should be linked below in my ministry blog.

The ‘johnmark extension’ provides leadership training in a wide range of areas oriented toward the professional learning of pastors and the leaders of Christian and not for profit organisations. See the areas in which I am currently teaching and training
Leadership Development Workshops.

Many of these resources have also been shared on
The Christian Leadership Exchange

Developed out of our mentoring training, the MEQ course, which is offered in a range of formats from ACT accredited through to workshop based short courses, there is a resources site for leaders who mentor others. Check out resources on The Mentor Exchange

Over recent years teaching skills in Conflict Management has become an area in its own right for me. Find conflict resources and training in peacemaking here:
