Rev. Tanya Walker

As Presbytery Minister’s our role is to respond to the needs of congregations within the North-West of the Presbytery, from Rutherglen/Corowa along the river to Echuca, down to Northern Rivers cluster and up the highway to Wangaratta, with all the congregations within this.

Working with these congregations and communities of faith, along with the other Presbytery Minister for the South-East side of the Presbytery, and other Presbytery leaders, this role will act as a resourcing minister, offering support and care to congregations and leaders with specific responsibility of developing ministry with Pacifica people. Through developing relationships and connections with faithful members of congregations this role will offer support, encouragement and equipping for ministry in the local context.
