Peter McHugh

Our story

Lyn and I became followers of Jesus in 1982 in the church Phil & Christine Pringle are leading in Sydney, now C3Church Oxford Falls.

We were asked to start a church in Canberra in 1985. After returning to Sydney in 1988 to rejoin Phil Pringle's staff, we were again sent out to plant a church in 1990, this time in Melbourne. We have been leading and building this church ever since.

During this time we have experienced the highs and lows of being in full time paid ministry. The journey has been fabulous as we have seen the Lord achieve so much and change us both in the process! We are eternally grateful to all who have helped us over the years to see the Lord’s vision come to pass.

When we came to faith we were separated. The Lord was so gracious and kind in the way He healed us and worked with us to rebuild our marriage. We have three incredible children. They are all married, two with children – being grandparents is just remarkable. They are all still in Melbourne and actively involved in our congregation.

The most amazing thing is that the best is yet to come.

If you would like to know more of Peter and Lyn’s story Peter has written two books – A Voyage of Mercy and Above the Line. A Voyage of Mercy is Peter’s personal journey of discovery about the love of Jesus and Above the Line chronicles the way this personal discovery is being translated into the way we do church and life together.
