The Reach Church Team
Lead Pastors Fredy and Lindani Chiriya
Pastors Fredy and Lindani Chiriya are the Senior Pastors of Reach Church. They have been married for over thirty years and have two sons, Simbarashe Ebenezer and Barnabas Mutsawashe. They are devoted to nurturing all generations in their Father’s House, a house of prayer for all nations. Together, they work to empower every individual to discover and develop their God-given gifts, with a special focus on preparing future generations and honouring the role of children in the church.
Their ministry is rooted in evangelism, missions, and corporate prayer, with a commitment to shepherding God’s people with gentleness and care. Ps Fredy and Lindani’s lifelong goal is to restore a culture of honour in today’s diverse world through Spirit-anointed Biblical teaching, transforming communities with love, respect, and Biblical values.
Reach Young Adults Leaders
Reach Young Adults is a gathering for young people 18 years and above. It doesn’t matter where you are in your journey with Jesus – you have a place here. Our goal is to foster a safe place for open and honest conversations; where young people are both challenged and encouraged to take up their mantle of being Christ followers in a world that may deem it counterculture to do so, and be discipled through the Word of God.
Reach Youth Leadership Team
Reach Youth is a gathering of high school aged teenagers, meeting weekly to have fun and seek God. Led by a team of committed Youth Leaders, the ministry focus is to REACH young people and see them grow in their relationship with Jesus. Together they enjoy regular youth meetings and youth camps. Reach Youth meets every Friday night, 7PM, at Reach Church Parramatta.
Reach Kids Leaders
Reach Kids is a fun-filled children’s ministry. Through music, stories and games we aim to lay a foundation from which all children will know what it means to walk with God and love Jesus. Reach Kids is committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment for children to encounter God. The Reach Kids Program runs from 10.30AM – 11.30AM on Sunday mornings. All our volunteers are screened for safe ministry and led by amazing leaders Aparna and Kim. We also have a creche that runs at the same time.
Missions Pastor Manoj Moteea
I encountered Jesus at age 18 in my small hometown in Mauritius. I was from a Hindu family and was brought up in hinduism. I first came to Australia in 1983 to study and to attend bible college. I am married with 3 daughters and 2 son in laws. I am also a grandfather to my grandson and granddaughter.
I have a heart for missions to share the love of Jesus Christ in all countries. In the past 5 years I have been to the Philippians, India and Uganda. I have witnessed powerful encounters with Jesus and communities embracing salvation. I have been a pastor at Reach Church for 20 years and I am the lead missions pastor and leader for the street evangelism program.
