Ministry Team

Find out a little more about our ministry team below.

At Gungahlin Bible Church, we believe the New Testament calls God's family to serve one another with the gifts that the ascended Christ has given. On Sunday mornings and throughout the week, this Biblical call sees many people involved in various Ministry Teams. All our Ministry Team Leaders give of their time to oversee and coordinate key areas across church life. They are all Partners of GBC.

Staff Person 1
Leadership and Vision Pastor (Church Planter)
Domenic Fiocco

Dom is married to Leslie and together they have raised three adult daughters.

He grew up on the Gold Coast with a constant suntan, a soccer ball by his side, and racing his family greyhounds. From a Catholic upbringing, Dom became a Christian at university (UNE, Armidale) after understanding that the gospel is a message of grace, centred on having a relationship with Jesus rather than mere religion or "churchianity"!

Before studying theology at Moore College (Sydney), Dom worked as an accountant in Sydney. He has served in Anglican Churches (Sydney), at Crossroads (Canberra), and since 2003 with Leslie has been involved in church planting across Canberra (SBC, Lakeside, MBC). He recently completed his Masters at SMBC.

Dom’s role as the Church Planter is to teach God’s Word and pray, to vision-cast, and equip God’s people for ministry.

Cross-cultural Pastor and Evangelist
Adam Chessum

Adam is married to Kay Ling and have a son entering high school. Adam grew up in north east Victoria and heard about Jesus when he occasionally went to church and listened to the Bible being read. He gradually came to understand the grace of God and his deep need to trust in Jesus at the age of nineteen.

Adam is a graduate of ANU with a Visual Arts degree in painting and then, after a Ministry Apprenticeship studied at Moore College (Sydney). He has had many years of ministry experience explaining the good news of Jesus to people from different cultures. Since 2015 Adam has served alongside Dom at Southside Bible Church.

Adam’s role at GBC will be to focus on evangelism and discipleship and equipping the church family. He will have a special focus cross-culturally helping people find Jesus and learn to follow Him.

Staff Person 2

Women's Ministry (part-time)

Aggie Mok

Aggie grew up in Hong Kong and came to Australia to study nursing, first in Darwin and then in Canberra. She responded to the Gospel as a teenager at a school camp. Aggie has worked as a registered nurse in the Emergency Department at the Canberra Hospital since the early 2000s. She lives with her dog 'Beanie’ and enjoys long distance running and learning from God’s Word. Aggie has been at GBC since the early days of the church plant.

Aggie considers it a privilege to be in this role and focuses on caring for, discipling, encouraging and praying for and with the women of GBC. She is keen to bring Jesus and His Gospel to the centre of women’s lives in GBC.
