Welcome to CABC Thornleigh

Christy Tsai was born in Taiwan and came to faith in 1989 as a first-generation Christian. Since then, she has served in various roles within the church, including as a devotional team member, small group leader, young adults fellowship leader, Sunday school teacher, and deacon. In 2001, she migrated to Sydney, Australia. In 2012, she and her husband, Pastor Trent Tsai, began theological training at the Chinese Theological College Australia. After graduating, they started serving together at CABC-T in 2016. Following Pastor Trent Tsai's retirement at the end of 2020, Christy stepped into the pastoral role in January 2021 and has been faithfully shepherding the congregation since. They have three daughters, all grown and now with families of their own. Outside of ministry, they enjoy morning swimming, cooking and exploring good food, travelling, and watching movies. They also value meaningful conversations with others about the Bible and growing together in the understanding of God's truth.

Nathan grew up in the Hills area and has been part of CABC-T from a young age. After working as a chartered accountant for five years, he left that career to complete a Master of Divinity at Morling College. He then served at a small church in Five Dock for seven years before being called by God to return and serve as the English Pastor at CABC-T in July 2022. Nathan loves helping others find joy in Jesus and has a deep passion for music and worship. He believes that, in every stage of life, each person has a deep need for Jesus and a meaningful relationship with Him. At home, Nathan and his wife Jess have two young children, a lively three-year-old boy and a cheeky one-year-old girl. As a family, they enjoy the rhythms of life together, from playtime and walks around the neighbourhood to the everyday joys and chaos of raising young kids. Nathan and Jess would love to chat with you, whether you have questions about Jesus, faith, or simply want to connect. Feel free to reach out any time!

Kenny loves exploring vocation and calling with others and enjoys walking through the city with his wife, Beeatrice, reflecting on God’s guidance in everyday life. He enjoys running, reading history, and watching films, and believes that faith is not merely a set of ideas, but something to be lived out in daily life. Born in Hong Kong, Kenny became a Christian in 1995 and was called to ministry after a short-term mission trip to Japan in 1998. After graduating from university, he joined Power To Change (CRU) in Hong Kong, where he served university students and young professionals for many years, promoting creative evangelism and discipleship. In 2008, he and his wife entered the China Graduate School of Theology for theological training. After completing his Master of Divinity, he became firmly convinced of a ministry calling centred on missions. He has served in the Christian and Missionary Alliance, the Evangelical Free Church, and the Baptist Church in Hong Kong, continuing to be actively involved in pastoral care, evangelism, and mission mobilisation. He is also experienced in integrating field ministry experience to help churches grow and be renewed. In 2025, he and his wife moved to Australia to care for family members and enter a season of rest and equipping. Kenny began serving at the Chinese and Australian Baptist Church – Thornleigh in May 2026. He looks forward to meeting new friends, exploring faith together, and helping believers live out their faith and calling in everyday life.
