Max Richards - Senior Pastor

Meg Richards - Senior Pastor


Max Richards has been ministering for many years having grown up in a Christian home and discovering a personal relationship with Jesus at a young age. 

God called Max into ministry at an early age and Max was faithful to the call. He has continued to walk faithfully as a leader and a servant in the community, in his family and in the Church. 

Max has a passion for the Word of God and teaches from this place of deep study and through his experiences. He delights to serve God and help others to find Jesus at every opportunity and this is reflected in his enthusiastic, imaginative, and often humorous approach to ministry.

Max has ministered within INC (International Network of Churches) since the 1990's.
Max took over the role of Pastor at Riverside, Wellington in 2014.


Meg Richards has held ministry positions since her teen years! These include teaching, worship, and a multitude of administrative and leadership roles.

Entering into a joint ministry with her husband Max after their children were grown, Meg moved to Central West, NSW and then to Wellington, commencing her Pastorship at Riverside Church in 2014.

Meg is a true worshipper and powerfully shares her gifts to equip and enable the church to experience the presence of God in tangible ways.  

With a heart to see people set free and healed, her joy is in helping others find peace with God and discover the joy of knowing Jesus.
