About BCS

Our Governance

Since its inception in 1944, the ministry of Baptist Community Services – NSW & ACT has been overseen by members of the Baptist family of churches.

This grassroots governance structure ensures that the organisation remains overtly Christian in its ethos.

All churches affiliated with the Baptist Churches of NSW & ACT are entitled to have a representative member on the BCS company. Individual members of Baptist churches can also join the company. There are also some other special membership categories, including Honorary Life Members.

From the company membership a Board of Directors is elected on an annual basis.

The current Board comprises:
Dr Graham Henderson, Chairperson
Mrs Judith Carpenter, Deputy Chairperson
Mr Robert Dunn, Treasurer
Mr John Church
Ms Catherine Ellis
Mr Gary Lear
Mrs Deborah Boston
Dr Alan Rice
Ms Corinne Glasby
Mr Paul Watkins
Mr Barry Marx
