About the speaker
Peter (and his wife Kathy) first planted in 1990 with the Anglican Church when they established View Hill Fellowship in Bendigo. Then in 1996 they started Yarra Valley Vineyard Church, the first Vineyard Church in Victoria at Lilydale, Melbourne. Out of Yarra Valley Vineyard Peter and Kathy saw the release of 8 other Vineyard Churches.
They have recently moved to the inner west of Melbourne where they are about to commence another church plant in a very different format to their previous churches. It is Peter's heart to bring together the best of traditional and emerging models of church and to encourage the whole church to respect and learn from one another.
