Lesley Revell has been part of Emmanuel Christian Outreach at Murray Bridge (ECO) for the past 24 years, and currently serves as the local pastor. She has lived in Murray Bridge for thirty years and has two adult children.
Lesley has been a Christian since 1991, and has been a keen student of the Word ever since, both with ongoing formal study (Bachelor of Ministry, Tabor College), and personal informal study.
A major focus, together with husband Mark, is to strengthen the local church; seeing it grow in love, unity, joy, hope, and influence as lives are transformed through the Gospel, the Word, and the power of the Holy Spirit.
Lesley is passionate about simple expressions of church, authentic discipleship and relational disciple-making through the local church, with an aim to influence our local community in a positive way for Christ. She believes all Christians are on a mission to build the Kingdom of God, and to be ambassadors for Christ in all situations, wherever they are planted.
Over the years, Lesley has worked together with the eldership and congregation, to see Emmanuel Church Outreach Murray Bridge, become an inclusive church with a family atmosphere and a heart for offshore and local mission.
