Bruce was born on the mission field and raised in a Christian family. The Lord graciously worked in his heart while he was young and he trusted Jesus as his Lord and Saviour. Throughout his teenage years, the Lord grew him through time spent in the Bible and he began to serve in the church he attended. After some time working as a Software Engineer, Bruce found the Lord moving his heart more and more toward theological studies and to a greater focus in gospel ministry.
Bruce has served as an intern for a couple of years at North Beach before entering his role as Pastor for Youth and Young Adults in 2011. He has a passion for seeing people come to faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord and to see people grow as disciples, firm and established in their faith to love and serve the Lord. It is his hope and prayer that the Lord will produce lasting fruit through Bruce partnering with others in the gospel work among the youth and young adults at North Beach.
