Alison Collins
I am blessed to be the eldest of four adult children. I have two younger sisters, Helen and Margaret, a younger brother, Ross, a brother-in- law, Mike, a sister-in-law, Kristie and four young nieces, Sophie, Lila Rosie and Audrey and nephews Harry and Archie. I am blessed to be a part of a loving Christian family. I do not have a specific point of conversion in my life. I have had the great blessing and privilege of growing up in a Christian family where my parents faithfully taught me the gospel always ensured that I knew the importance of Christ’s death and resurrection in my life. As I grew in knowledge of what Christ had done on the cross I took personal ownership and asked Christ to be in control of my life. I am is a trained primary school teacher having finished the Advanced Diploma of Ministry at Youthworks College. I have worked at various Sydney parishes.
I am passionate about teaching the gospel to children and seeing them grow in their relationship with Christ.
In my spare time I enjoy reading, walks on the beach, spending time with friends and family especially my nieces and nephews.
