Tristan’s Story
After experiencing a radical conversion to Christ in 1999, Tristan followed the powerful call of God on his life, to serve Jesus all his days. He has been faithful to that call ever since.
Born in Perth, Tristan grew up in a loving, Christian family and was the third of four children. Tristan began making wrong choices in his teenage years. Drinking alcohol and taking drugs led him to a destructive life and at the depths of despair. He had a radical conversion to Christ in 1999. He enrolled into full-time Bible College in 2000 and graduated 3 years later. He was appointed the Youth Pastor and oversaw the Youth and Young Adult ministry of Airport City Church (now Nations Belmont) for 9 years. Tristan became a popular speaker in high schools, youth groups and community groups across WA. His story is similar to that of the prodigal son and has inspired many families across WA to believe God for a miracle with their own children.

Jade’s Story
Jade was born in Perth, Western Australia and was the youngest of two girls. Despite being an international, medal winning athletics champion at 15, with Olympic dreams, Jade was lured into the drug scene after going to a rave party. Jade became addicted to drugs, which led to a lifestyle of violence and hopelessness. In 1999, by the Grace of God, Jade was given a second chance through the help of Teen Challenge WA. After going public with her story in 2000, Jade is now a highly sought after motivational speaker. She is the author of two best-selling books which are in over 850 Australian schools, delivered to over 3000 school classes and has participated on government boards.

Their Story
Tristan and Jade met 20 years ago, while both were in youth ministry, doing high school outreaches in WA schools. They knew quickly that they were meant to spend the rest of their lives serving the Lord together. They married in 2003 and soon after were appointed as Youth and Young Adult Pastors at Airport City Church (now Nations Belmont) where they served for 9 years and saw God do many great things.
At the same time, their work in high schools continued to grow to expand across Australia and this saw the need to develop, the "Under YOUR Influence" seminar. This seminar teaches parents how to lead their young people into a drug and alcohol problem free life. Their community work ministry continued to expand to reach females in WA prisons, where they pioneered and continue to lead the successful Yellow Ribbon Project for Second Chances and run many programs weekly in the prisons.
Along the way, Tristan and Jade welcomed their three beautiful children into the world, Annaleigh, Elyssa and Noah. Together as a family love that they get to serve God together and positively impact people's lives wherever they go.
Tristan and Jade joined Generations City in 2012 where they served on the preaching team and were released to be itinerate preachers and travel across Australia.
In 2016, Tristan and Jade were excited to be appointed as the Senior Pastors of Generations City. By the grace of God, they have transitioned the church into a new season, where God continues to move powerfully.
Because of their stories of God's love rescuing them and radically changing their lives, they are committed to reaching everyone everywhere. They believe that all Christians play a vital role to helping others find Jesus. Tristan and Jade carry a big heart of mercy and are most passionate to seeing our city won for Jesus.
Their sole focus is on evangalism and discipleship and with the launch of The Academy in 2019 and launching All-In Connect Groups in 2023, the vision of raising up an army to transform our cities is beginning to be fulfilled. Blessed with an incredible team at Generations City, these new days will be ones to remember forever.
