Pastors David & Tricia McDonaldPastors David & Tricia serve as the Senior Ministers of Empower Church, a thriving church with multiple locations across the city of Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide.
David’s driving passion is to see the next generation of powerful leaders take their place in the church and the marketplace. As an advocate for young people ready to rise up, David carries around him, an environment of faith, and hunger after the purposes of God. His vision is to empower and equip the church for the future. This is evident through the apostolic strategies he employs for training and developing church leaders and church planters. David’s humility and integrity are marks of a truly great man of God. His preaching is generously interspersed with inspiring statements to live by, personal accounts of faith shared boldly and keys to living a purposeful, productive God-centred life.
Tricia is an empowering women who believes in all generations. She pioneered 4her, a women’s conference which ran in each state of Australia from 2001 until 2011. This ministry thrived and released women to be all that God has called them to be. Tricia has such a passionate heart for the local church. She is a woman of faith, a woman of strength and a woman that loves her family. Aside from Sundays Tricia’s favourite day of the week is Thursdays; her special day with Eden, her only Granddaughter.
