Billy Tang

I was born in Liverpool, NSW and grew up playing video games and attending chinese school on Saturday mornings. I graduated from Sydney Uni and was a school teacher in 2010-13 prior to working amongst university students with Power to Change from 2014-2019. I have a graduate Diploma of Divinity from SMBC and a Masters of Ministry from Morling College. I was also the student pastor at Narwee Baptist for 2 years 2020-2021. I grew up in an atheist/buddhist household, and I gave my life to Jesus when I was in my later years of high school. I married Melissa in 2013 and we have two vibrant and energetic children, Jacob and Bridie, both who take immense enjoyment from frustrating each other. I am passionate about people finding renewed joy and peace in knowing Jesus and being part of his diverse and united community. I have an interest in the sport of boxing and hanging out with the family at the beach.

Gabriel is currently undergoing his Pastoral Traineeship at Earlwood Baptist Church, while studying at Morling College (Bachelor of Ministry). Gabriel grew up in the Bankstown area (Bediagal land) and is really passionate about building relationships and networks within his local community, whether it be through sport, the love of movies (and music), and most definitely, food.
