Revd James 'Dub' Gannon
Revd James ‘Dub’ Gannon, Deanne and their three children moved to the parish of Longford/Perth in 2020. Revd Gannon has a background in agriculture growing up on a mixed farm in the Riverina, NSW. After working in the agricultural industry for a number of years as an agricultural consultant he went to theological college to train for parish ministry. His first post was working as curate in the Church of England based in Essex, UK, and then working as a vicar of six small rural parishes also in the county of Essex. He came to develop a deep appreciation for all things British and loved the history and its beautiful countryside.
Revd Gannon is passionate about sharing the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ and to see people grow as disciples of Jesus Christ. If you would like to find out more about the Lord Jesus and what the bible has to say in our 21st century world, Revd Gannon would love to hear from you.

Revd Mark Barry
Mark gave his life to Jesus at uni, while reading through Mark’s gospel and coming face-to-face with the awesome love of God at the cross.
He has since worked as an architect, before serving with AFES* on uni campuses, and as state coordinator for the Bible Society in Tasmania. He then took on the role of Community Pastor for five years at St John’s Launceston (now the All Saints Network), before becoming the Associate Minister in the parishes of Longford/Perth & Cressy at the end of 2023.
Mark is married to Lucy, who loves painting and gardening, and they have two (almost) adult children: Sam and Naomi. Mark loves long walks, short books, creative projects (e.g. visualunit and markbarryart) and, above all, sharing the riches of God’s word with people who want to know more about the love of Jesus.
