Donna Savill
Donna’s life is full and rewarding as she does life and ministry with a love for people, and a love of adventure and fun which is shared (or tolerated ;) by her husband Bryce and almost adult-kids Hannah and Josh. She is in full time ministry with Churches of Christ Qld leading the team who support churches across the State to be Christ-centred, well-led, and safe.
Donna delights in the feeling of a project completed as much as an encouraging conversation, times of quiet as much as catching up with good friends and treasures any opportunity to pray with others. Most of all though, she loves Jesus.
Donna enjoys photography and fishing but is exploring some newfound hobbies including propagating succulents and sewing. She also bought herself a rocking chair, so is wondering if she may be preparing for retirement a bit too early.

She loves early morning walks and coffee dates with Jesus.
