Our Team

Scott Hawkins

Scott Hawkins loves strong coffee, political tshirts, and lemon meringue pie. He does not like Vegemite and losing his keys.

His role at Urban Life is the Senior Minister. This means he’s responsible for steering the ship, running Sunday morning services and community connections among other things. You can usually find him in a cafe in Ringwood sipping a skinny magic.

Jay Sawyer

This is Jay. He likes basketball, summer weather and scarves. He does not like small talk or bananas.

Jay is the Communities Minister at Urban Life, gathering people to help them care for others and developing projects that serve the wellbeing of the community. You can usually find him having a good old chin wag with someone at Urban Life, Eastland, or pretty much anywhere people are.

Karina Newnham

Karina likes digging up home grown potatoes, walking barefoot and rearranging furniture. She does not like the feeling of cutting too close to a mango pip, windy beach days or getting bluetac off things.

Karina is the Generations Minister at Urban Life which means she develops programs and activities to include, celebrate and support the younger people in our church. She can mostly be found upstairs in the kids multipurpose room at Urban Life or across the road working at Realm Library.

Karina is currently on Parental Leave as is unavailable to contact directly at this time. Please contact Scott or Jay in the interim.
