Anna's face

Anna Davy
Children's & Youth Pastor

Having known and followed Jesus since she was a young girl Anna has experienced the value of Children’s and Youth ministry as a child, youth, and adult.

 Anna is passionate about equipping young people for life with Jesus. Having completed her undergraduate degree at UTAS Anna is currently studying a Graduate Diploma of Divinity at Ridley College while she leads ministry for, with, and by under 18s at Wellspring.
 Anna’s favourite colours are yellow and purple, she loves to sew (mostly quilts but hopefully her own clothes soon too!) and if you ask her whether she prefers tea or coffee she’ll say, ‘both’.
