founders & senior leaders

Garth and Jaime’s journey together has always been marked by faith, family, and a deep passion for building the Church. Married in 2012, they felt a clear call to plant their first church in Nairobi, Kenya in 2015, where they served for four transformative years. In 2019, their journey took them to Newcastle, Australia, where they became lead pastors of what would soon become Rhythm City Church—a vibrant, growing community passionate about Jesus and people.

Garth holds a Master of Theology and is passionate about raising up leaders and leading the Church into a new era of reformation—one marked by authentic discipleship, spiritual renewal, and cultural relevance. Garth has just released his first book, Rhythms of Reformation. You can follow his online content on Substack and instagram handle @Ballsy Conversations. 

Jaime, with a background in early childhood education, is highly prophetic and carries a strong sensitivity to the voice of God. She brings warmth, insight, and strength to both worship and leadership. Alongside Garth, she co-leads the church while also homeschooling their two beautiful daughters, Elsy and Georgie.

Now living in Dubai, Garth and Jaime are stepping into a long-held dream—planting their third church in a city that’s been on their hearts for over a decade. They love Dubai and believe God is writing a powerful new story here—one full of hope, purpose, and transformation

Table

Table refers to the small-group system of Rhythm City Church, where we meet around tables to share meals, stories, conversations, and ministry.

OUR HEARTBEAT IS TO BE A GLOBAL FAMILY OF MATURING, SPIRIT-FILLED FOLLOWERS OF JESUS
