About

Mark Jurisic - Lead Pastor of CityWest Church, Melton, Victoria, Australia.  Born 18th March, 1974 in Melbourne, Australia.  I have an amazing wife, Caroline and four of the most precious kids Chanelle, Amy, Caeden and Joel.  I am so thankful to God for this beautiful family.  I often say to my wife that without her and my kids in my life there is no way I could function and do what I do.  Their support and love for me far exceeds anything I derserve and they are living examples of the grace of God in my life.

My spiritual journey began back in 1994 - early 1995.  I like to say that Jesus ambushed me and finally rescued me after many years of wandering aimlessly.  I remember the night of my conversion as if it happened yesterday as Almighty God breathed life into my spiritual deadness and suddenly I found myself alive in Jesus.  From that moment I was never the same again.

My early years of ministry were in the worship team and youth groups.  After a short while God called my wife and I to the mission-field and we served at Mission Puerto Rico for 3 years.  During these years of training little did we know that God was preparing us to pastor CityWest Church.  Now coming up to 7 years, CityWest has been an amazing journey of faith and partnership with Jesus.

The story continues and I am now more hopeful and excited about our future like never before.  The best years are ahead of us and I love seeing the Holy Spirit work in the lives of people and draw them to the Father through Jesus.

If I could sum up my life it would be this…RUINED FOR LIFE!  Ruined for anything but Jesus and ruined from ever pursuing my own gain and fame.  I am consumed by God and He owns me.  Honestly, it doesn’t get better than this!
