The team
Pr. Dejan Stojkovic | DIRECTOR
Dejan Stojkovic was born in Kragujevac, Serbia. He went to England in 2001 to study theology and he completed his undergraduate and postgraduate degrees at Newbold College. Dejan has had a broad range of pastoral experience; he has served as a Youth Pastor at Stanborough Park Church, Youth and Pathfinder Director in the Trans-European Division, and Adventist Volunteer Services and Chaplaincy in the South England Conference.
Dejan's mission in life is very simple and that is preparing young people for the second coming of Jesus.
Pr. Stanley Stuski | associate DIRECTOR
Pastor Stanley is a local to the GSC. With local church experience across Sydney—including pastoral roles at Stanmore, Parramatta and Mile End—he brings a deep passion for ministry and a heart for young people.
Born in New Zealand with Cook Islands heritage, Stan’s journey into church life began through music. He later met his wife, Kristin, at Hoxton Park Church, and they’ve been serving in ministry together ever since. Together, they have two boys, Jesse and Ethan.
