John and Stef McDonald are originally from the Blue Mountains, where they grew up and later served as youth pastors for 7 years.
In 2012 they felt the call of God to move to Japan and be a part of Lifehouse Church in Tokyo. During their time in Japan, they planted a Lifehouse church in the city of Fukuoka, in the southern island of Kyushu.
In 2020 they felt God call them back to Australia, and specifically to Western Sydney. After passing on the leadership of the church in Fukuoka to amazing new pastors, they moved back to Sydney with their two young kids to become the senior pastors at Citywest Church.
Johno and Stef have a passion for the local church in Australia, and a desire to build a local church that reaches, disciples and equips people to live out their God-given purpose.
