We have seen God’s abundant faithfulness at Anchor Church over the past ten years as we’ve sought to reach our city with the good news of Jesus. We have seen people embrace our call to do whatever it takes to bring the wayward home.
And we want to do it again.
James and Caitie have been part of the Anchor Church family since 2017 and James has served as a Pastor at Anchor City since 2019.
In addition to completing Anchor’s Church Planting Residency, James and Caitie have been assessed both internally by the Anchor Movement and externally by the Acts 29 Network. Having served at Anchor City over the past 8 years, they are excited to step out and lead this church plant.
James and Caitie are driven by a deep desire to see people encounter the life-changing love and grace of God. Their heart is to see revival break out on the North Shore as the Gospel is proclaimed, Jesus is lifted up, disciples are made, and God’s Spirit empowers His people to carry out His mission – for our great joy and His glory. They would love to invite you to join them in this mission of seeing God’s Kingdom come in the North Shore as it is in heaven.
The North Shore is a multiculturally diverse region of Sydney made up of seven different LGAs (local government areas) and with a cumulative population of over half a million people. It is a place that offers tremendous lifestyle opportunities and the promise of material prosperity, but beneath that is spiritually poor and needy. Recent census data suggests that approximately 42% of people who call the North Shore home identify as having ‘no religion’, which is almost ten percent higher than the state average. Our target location, the Chatswood-Lane Cove area, is also home to a higher proportion of young adults when compared to state and national averages and we feel called to reach and minister to them with the good news of Jesus. Simply put, we believe there are exciting Gospel opportunities in this region, and we look forward to partnering with existing churches and playing our part in what God is already doing in the area.
On Sunday 14 September, we celebrated our Public Launch at The Alcott in Lane Cove. It’s been so incredible and encouraging to see all God has been doing in and through this community already.

We are praying for God to raise up generous gospel partners to help us unleash a growing a vibrant gospel ministry in the North Shore. Partners who are willing to do whatever it takes to bring the wayward home.
