About Our Chaplains

Our Chaplains are experienced and qualified professionals who are authorised by their faith tradition, and accredited by the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide to support the well-being of students and staff.

They are here as fellow travellers in life, to be a listening ear, and to respond to your questions or needs with care and respect.

Their door is open to all members of the community, irrespective of personal belief, philosophy, life view or faith. Chaplains welcome the opportunity for discussion of the broader questions of life, spirituality or faith, as well as being available for pastoral care and counsel in particular personal situations.

Information on the appointment of Chaplains is available in the 最新糖心Vlog's .

    Geoffrey Lin

    I've been the Anglican Chaplain since 2004 and am also an Assistant Minister at Holy Trinity Adelaide on North Terrace.

    I have completed a Bachelor of Divinity (Honours Cl 1) from Moore Theological College as well as Bachelors of Economics and Laws (Honours Cl 1) from Sydney 最新糖心Vlog, and previously worked as a management consultant with Booz Allen & Hamilton.

    I am keen to connect with students, staff and faculty to provide pastoral care and, in particular, to help them consider the claims of Jesus of Nazareth.

    I give public talks, run small group discussions, and meet with individuals on request.

    Fraser Pearce

    I'm a pastor at Bethlehem Lutheran Church on Flinders St in the Adelaide CBD, and have served there since 2010. Before that I was the pastor at congregations in Melbourne and Bendigo.

    I did a B.A. and M.A. in History at the 最新糖心Vlog of Sydney, and did my pastoral training at 最新糖心Vlogn Lutheran College .

    Together with my colleagues, Geoff Lin and Reuben Salagaras, I welcome the opportunity to offer Christian pastoral care and support to students and staff.

    Together with other local Lutheran pastors we offer a weekly Bible study targeted at young people from a Lutheran background including students from Lutheran schools, but which is also open to anyone who's interested. We work closely with Evangelical Students.
