Neville & Kathie Naden

Neville Naden is BCA’s Indigenous Ministry Officer. Together with his wife Kathie, Neville seeks to support those at the coal face who minister to our First Nations people, many of whom live in rural and remote communities. He also provides support to BCA’s Indigenous staff. “One of the things that we enjoy most in this role is walking alongside people as they think through the ‘how to’ of ministry to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people,” says Neville.

The Indigenous Ministry Officer is a full-time role where Neville works with the rest of the BCA team to grow our work with Indigenous people. He identifies emerging Indigenous Christian leaders and finds ways for BCA to help them take the next steps into ministry. Neville also represents BCA in wider discussions about Indigenous ministry.
