On Sundays he is often involved with the kids ministry, but also preaches, and sometimes joins the music team on his double bass. Rohan is a reformed gamer who relapses occasionally, and sometimes finds time for ambitious undertakings like learning ancient languages, trying to make electronic music, playing various instruments, or juggling.

He is married to Monica and is a proud father and grandfather of incredibly wonderful kids. He enjoys being part of the preaching and worship teams at Living Grace. He likes food (a little too much!), cycling, reading, current affairs, and would like to travel some more—maybe Germany, Scotland, Israel, a COVID-free cruise…

Ken has been a Christian for 50 plus years and attended several churches during that time. He is currently serving on the church board and also assists in the church maintenance and Sunday morning setup.
His interests include fishing and crabbing, golf and making or repairing items for his children and grandchildren. He also has a caravan and hopes to travel extensively over the next five years.
One day a week he looks after his grandchild and soon it will be a second day for the next grandchild.

Grant is a loud, balding older man who loves to chat. When he and his wife Sheryl returned from 18 months in UK/Europe in 1978 they decided to come to Dianella to worship because of Christian friends already here.
Grant started life in Bunbury and has been associated with Churches of Christ since attending their Sunday School from the age of four. Grant made an adult decision to follow Jesus at the age of twelve. Grant has served God as an elder, Board member, lay preacher and singer.
Music has always been important to Grant. When he came to Perth to attend University, he formed a Christian rock group that for five years played at churches and ‘coffee house ministry venues’. Grant is part of our worship team.

Hobbies include photography, especially birds and flowers; gardening and fishing (both badly).
