Liz and Warrick Broad joined the Church family here at Rockhampton Baptist when they relocated to Central Queensland in 2020, before Liz later started in the Kids Ministry Coordinator role at the beginning of 2023. Liz and Warrick have enjoyed settling into the Rockhampton Region, and have had the pleasure of playing tour guides for their adult children and grandchildren when they visit.
Liz has completed a Bachelor of Education through LaTrobe University, as well as a Graduate Diploma of Education (Guidance and Counselling) through the University of Southern Queensland. Before relocating to Rockhampton, Liz worked as a Primary School Teacher in Victoria and also previously held a variety of administrative roles across a range of sectors.
We asked Liz about what aspect of Rockhampton Baptist’s vision resonates most with her and she shared that for her, “building relationships is key, as this is so pivotal in Kid’s Ministry and in helping our young ones to grow in their journey with Jesus”. Liz loves to connect with new families and enjoys understanding all the brilliant uniqueness of the kids in our Church family. Liz expressed how grateful she is to be part of a Church with such a depth of generations that love, support, and value families and their young people.
Liz captured her love for our Church family and the way in which, “people of every age are loved and accepted for who they are – even when they may not fit the mould”. Liz continues to appreciate the opportunity to serve with the kids of our Church family, and gets so much energy from seeing kids so excited and joyful to be engaging with the Gospel and growing in their faith.
Connect with Liz when you next visit Rockhampton Baptist, she’d love to meet you and your family!
