Pastor Michelle Laukart has been serving in pastoral ministry since 2011, leading and supporting people across both Baptist and ACC church communities. During her time working in Ministry Pastor Michelle worked in outreach with Youth Dimension, where she developed a passion for connecting with young people, building community, developing leaders in evangelism and helping others discover hope and purpose in Jesus.

Michelle lives in Kinglake and loves being part of the local community. While she enjoys the outdoors and has plenty of land to explore, she spends most of her free time gardening. Pastor Michelle strongly dislikes gardening. For this reason she is thinking about finding a Husband or buying a goat.  Currently life at home includes two dogs, two ponies, and a cat, all of whom keep things interesting.

A proud aunt, Michelle treasures time spent with her nieces and nephews and values the importance of family. She also has a love for cars, especially her WRX, and enjoys getting out and about to enjoy the beauty of the region.

At the heart of Pastor Michelle's ministry is a desire to see people encounter the love of Jesus, grow in their faith, and discover the unique purpose God has for their lives. She is passionate about creating a welcoming church community where people from all walks of life can belong, connect, and journey together in faith.

 

Michelle looks forward to welcoming you to Church Kinglake and helping you find your place in a thriving community centred on Christ.
