Rob and Debbie founded Southland Church in 1995, beginning with just five adults. In 27 years, under their leadership, Southland grew into a thriving, multi-staffed church, located in its own five-star facility in Pasadena, a southeastern suburb of Adelaide.

Rob, an ordained minister with three decades of experience, has served on a national denominational board and has mentored pastors, business leaders, church planters, and local church leaders. In early 2022, he joined the Australian Christian Lobby and now serves as Queensland Director, continuing his commitment to advocate for faith, family, and freedom.
