CHRIS SWANN

Director of training

Chris loves being the Director of Training with City to City Australia. It’s exciting to stand alongside those who serve Christ’s people in leadership — whether they are serving in new or established churches or parachurch ministries. He is passionate about helping them do this authentically — out of the overflow of an increasingly vibrant personal experience of the grace of the Lord Jesus — with humble confidence that all of life belongs to Christ, and with a compelling vision for spiritual renewal and fruitfulness in executing contextually-appropriate strategies that engage and activate others in pursuit of this goal.

Chris has a decade and a half of experience identifying, raising up and equipping Christian leaders in university ministry, local church, chaplaincy, mission agency, communications, and theological education roles. He is particularly stirred by the challenge of helping people grasp and minister out of a vision of the Christian life that takes seriously the power, purpose, and presence of God’s grace. In this vein, his PhD in theology, examined Karl Barth’s use of the language and imagery of discipleship in the context of his late doctrine of sanctification.

Chris lives in Melbourne with his wife Natalie and two kids, where they are part of a local Anglican church in the multicultural and increasingly-secular Inner North.
