Kathryn Jensen

VIC

Kathryn is passionate about seeing healthy pastors flourishing in healthy churches. She loves the local church and knows that it takes a holistic approach to thrive as God intended. As an ordained Baptist Pastor and Church Planter, she brings 15 years combined experience in both Associate and Lead Pastor roles, working within established church structures and pioneering a new work in the growth corridor of Melbourne’s north. Having worked bi-vocationally as a professional counsellor, Kathryn also brings 15 years of counselling experience and knows what it means to work across multiple systems and cultures.

A particular area of interest for Kathryn is working cross-culturally. She has extensive experience working across cultures in all her roles, and most recently has been leading a multi-ethnic neighbourhood group in running an annual festival by and for the community. 

Collaboration is a strength of Kathryn's. As an active member of her local neighbourhood, she has seen first-hand the impact when churches work together with their neighbours to seek the peace of the city, especially in these polarising times. She desires to "restore, rebuild, renovate and make the community liveable again" (Isaiah 58:12).
