Serving in Love. Serving our Community.
So then, as we have the opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are in the household of faith. Galatians 6:10 (ESV)
The Chaplaincy team at HillSide Christian College exists to provide support and pastoral care to our College community.
Our Chaplains:
Paul Johnston
Paul’s role as a Chaplain at HillSide Christian College comes after seven years in three local public school, where he worked as a primary school Chaplain. After 26 years in computer servicing, he trained at Tabor Bible College to gain a Diploma in Ministry, and has extensive experience in pastoral care, encouragement and support for students, parents and teachers. As a father of five adult children and grandfather of their twenty offspring, Paul is a keen family man with a strong and vital faith. He has lived in the local Forrestfield area, with his wife Jennifer for their thirty six years together
Our Chaplain is available to the whole College community, especially the students and their families, and is very willing to offer a confidential listening ear and a caring presence when this may help. In the grind and storms of life, the Chaplain is here and ready to give emotional and spiritual support, and to pray with and for you if wanted. We all need an extra caring friend from time to time, and that is what the Chaplain’s role is. The Chaplain is also involved in nurturing and looking out for the spiritual life of the students both through devotional input and personal interaction from day to day, as opportunity allows.
