Nicole Conner

Nicole Conner was born in Hamburg, Germany, to parents deeply affected by the horrors of WW2 and raised in apartheid South Africa, Nicole’s upbringing has given her a love for “the other” that has seen her become a respected and compassionate voice for justice and human rights.

She holds a Bachelor of Theology and Master in History. Her career path includes being on staff at CityLife Church, a large congregation of diverse nationalities that meets in multi-sites across the city of Melbourne. She held multiple roles here including Youth Pastor, Women’s Pastor, Church Planting Research, Refugee Ministry Leader and Associate Minister. She retired from her staff position 2010.

A gifted communicator she has the ability to inspire people of different ages, cultures and walks of life, motivating them to a life of purpose and impact. Her ministry is characterised by warmth, vibrancy, tenacity and her passion is for issues of justice.

Nicole’s zany perspective on life has her continually questioning and challenging the boundaries of human limitations in faith, knowledge and the practical expression of love towards others.

Nowadays, as a freelance writer and blogger, she spends her time on a variety of research and writing projects that she can conduct in her flannel pyjamas surrounded by her fur children. She finds great joy in reading history books of all sorts, ruminating on spiritual matters, walking in places that are not crowded by people, digging mysterious plants into her garden, drinking too much coffee and doing her tiny part in making the world a kinder place.
