senior pastor

  • nick lloyd

    Before leading the amazing community here at Outlook, my greatest privilege and joy is to be a husband to Jandee and Dad to Haven, Eden and Banks. We like to keep life pretty simple and with whatever spare time we have you can usually find us frequenting local cafes and parks (flat whites & a bowl of hot chips, thanks) or sitting around a campfire - ideally at the beach. Really though, any weekend spent camping is a good one in our books. Life is certainly fun and full with three under five but we wouldn’t have it any other way!

    No two things have captured me more over the last decade in ministry than the prayer of ‘on earth as it is in Heaven’ and seeing people come to follow Jesus, become like Jesus and lead others to Jesus. Come and join us as we follow Jesus together and seek His Kingdom for the city and people of Toowoomba!
