 Graham has been the Senior Pastor at Northside Community Church since September 1998. Prior to that, he spent 17 years as Senior Minister at Marion Church of Christ, Adelaide. He graduated from the Churches of Christ Theological College, Melbourne in 1976.
Graham has a strong desire for people to see the local church as a centre of inspiration, service and personal growth. He is passionate about leading a relaxed and informal church that connects with everyday Australians. These points of motivation are reflected unmistakably in his ministry style – especially his “How To” approach to speaking.
With a background in commerce, Graham has always tried to remain current in his understanding of issues relating to the business world. In the setting in which he finds himself, he believes this to be very important.
Over the years, he has spoken at many Business Conventions within Australia and at one time received a "Best Speakers Award" from the National Speakers Association of Australia. He is also an Instructor with the internationally renowned Dale Carnegie organization, assisting people from all walks of life in the areas of communication, stress management & human relations.
Graham is married to Bev they have two adult children, Tamara and Cameron.
