Amplify 2024 Keynote Speakers

For you to watch while you wait for Amplify 2025!

Graham Stanton

teaches at Ridley College in Melbourne and is the Director of the Ridley Centre for Children’s and Youth Ministry. His latest research explored how young Australians experience and understand God and the stories of how those beliefs have been formed. Graham and his wife Kate live in the inner-north of Melbourne and go to St. Jude’s Anglican church in Parkville. Apart from Jesus, his personal heroes include Bruce Springsteen and Leslie Knope.

Dr Rowan Lewis

is an experienced researcher and educator in formation and spirituality especially as it relates to younger people. Over the last 15 years, he has created and led formation programs for youth and young adults as well as specialising in accompanying young people amidst times of doubt and spiritual transition – which ultimately became the focus of his PhD. Your Story is a national research project seeking to understand the influences that shape young people’s journey of faith. It has surveyed over 400 young people and will be releasing findings throughout 2024 (https://www.convergeoceania.com/). Together with his wife Kirra, Rowan lives in Melbourne with three energetic teenagers who keep life suitably animated.

Kimberly Smith

is passionate about seeing churches function as true expressions of God’s family; where people of all generations find their place of belonging and purpose, and are equipped and empowered to join God’s mission. She enjoys engaging her gifts of communication in writing and speaking to various audiences with vulnerability, wisdom and humour. She is experienced in developing leaders and teams and loves to help others identify and step into their unique gifting and call. Kimberly is currently serving the Baptist Churches of Victoria as the Generations and Emerging Leaders Pastor. She was previously on staff at Werribee Baptist Church as an Associate Pastor (Generations and Church Life), a role she enjoyed and flourished in for over 14 years. Kimberly is also a State Leader and content facilitator for Arrow Leadership Australia.
