MEET THE TEAM

Elders & Wives

PCC believes in a plurality of elders (or pastors) as modeled by the early church in New Testament of the Bible. Practically, this means we aim to lead and make decisions as one team, and serve in various capacities as one team along with our wives who play a vital role in the leadership of the church.

Doug Fell

Doug and Claire Fell lead the team that launched Parkhurst Community Church in 2013. Prior to that Doug served for several years at Rosebank Union Church before heading off to the USA for a year of church planting preparation. They have a busy family life with 3 delightful kids who keep them on their toes. They are both born and bred Joburgers’, and love serving God in this crazy city and seeing what He is up to. When they’re not busy with church stuff, they love getting away to the bush and they are both known to have an above average love of coffee.

Tono Pinillos

Tono and Francoise have been married since 2010 and are parents to 3 wonderful children. They love spending time with family and friends, and enjoy building relationships that are deep and meaningful. Tono is a full time investment professional and Francoise is a medical doctor, and while they love their vocations, they consider it a deep joy and privilege to serve God’s church at PCC.

Dave Jones

Dave and Talya have been part of the PCC story from the beginning, having joined the launch team while dating. Shortly into the church plant, they got engaged and have been married since 2014. They have 3 amazing young kids who are an absolute joy to parent. Dave joined the staff team in 2017 after his theological and church planting studies, and serves this church family as the Executive Pastor. Dave and Tals grew up in Joburg and trust God to continue capturing this wonderful city with the message of grace in Jesus. As a family they love the beach, a braai and the odd dance party in the kitchen.

Kevin Finlay

Since joining Parkhurst Community Church in 2020, Kevin and Sue-Anne have loved being part of a community that truly feels like home. Married since 1998, they find great joy in serving the Lord alongside their sons, Joshua and Liam, both of whom are active in ministry at PCC and Street Church. Kevin runs a satellite communications business and enjoys discipling others to live out their faith with authenticity and boldness. Sue-Anne is currently studying theology and loves uses her training and coaching background to equip others with Bible-based tools for everyday life. Whether traveling to new places or enjoying a Sunday braai, the Finlay’s value relational living and the simple joy of following Christ together with family and friends.

Andrew Burn

Andrew and Kerryn were married in 2015 and joined Parkhurst Community Church in 2020. Since then, the church has become a true family to them as they’ve grown their own family and welcomed two amazing kids. Andrew is a finance professional and Kerryn is a speech therapist. Together they love family and friendships and enjoying good food. They are passionate about building authentic community and seeing God’s kingdom advance and renewing all spheres of life.
