Meet the Team
It's everyone!
At Alkimos Baptist Church, the Ministry Team is never just the paid staff and pastors. We believe that God has given skills and opportunities to all of his people. That means that everyone here is part of the team. People serve one another, pray for one another, encourage one another and work together to reach the community for Jesus.
At ABC, everyone is on the Ministry Team. It's the family business!
Lead Pastor
Jordan Burgess
Jordan was appointed by North Beach Baptist Church to be the pastor and planter of Alkimos Baptist Church. Prior to vocational ministry, he worked as a physics teacher in Gawler, South Australia. He also enjoys preaching, and hearing people’s stories about God at work. Jordan and his wife Jenna have four young children – Theodore, Verity, Malachi and Felicity. Time with family is precious indeed. In his spare time, he has been known to engage in fantasy football, watch cricket or try learning biblical Hebrew.
Nurture Pastor
Tom Measures
Tom was appointed to be the Nurture Pastor of Alkimos Baptist Church at the start of 2026. He oversees the Growth Groups and welcoming, and occasionally preaches. Tom's biggest passion is catching up with church members over a coffee and hearing how they are travelling with God. Alongside ministry, Tom also works part time in CNC Engineering. Before coming to ABC, Tom served as an Associate Pastor at Endeavour Christian Gathering, where he started and grew the Young Adults ministry. Tom and his wife Mel love trying new food and discovering their next favourite place to eat, although Tom is yet to develop a taste for anything spicy. In his spare time, he loves following his beloved Leicester City, the football club from his hometown in England - even when they make it harder than it needs to be!
