Meet Our Pastoral Team

Rev Simon Chen - Lead Pastor

In God we live and move and have our being. (Acts 17:28)

Simon is pretty vanilla so nothing to see here. But he does want you to know that he serves an amazing God and he wants to help you find God and grow as a disciple of Jesus. Have you met Jesus?


If you never did, you should.


Jesus is awesome and Jesus is good.

Mary Ackers - Associate Pastor

“He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” Micah 6:8

Mary joined the KBC community in 2022. She has a decade of experience in youth ministry and worked as a school chaplain in the Northern suburbs of Adelaide before joining our team.


Mary is currently undergoing Accredited Ministry Formation with Baptist Churches SA & NT and loves learning alongside other passionate leaders. She enjoys mentoring young people, preaching, and helping others to walk the road with Jesus.

Mary is particularly passionate about seeking justice in our world and engaging well with our neighbours. She loves to walk and cycle around the community, listen to all kinds of music, and especially loves a good coffee and brunch with mates. She’d love to grab coffee with you and hear about your journey with Jesus!
