Pastors Caleb Nicholes
Caleb grew up in a Christian home with his parents, Pastors Peter and Karen and his two younger siblings Rees and Amelia. He has attended Southern Lights, his home church since age two when it was planted by his parents in 1984. After receiving salvation at an early age Caleb began to walk in his own faith as a follower of Christ from the age of 16.
Caleb finished high school in 2000 and completed an intensive discipleship course; The Master's Commission the following year. In the coming years Caleb was involved in youth leadership and eventually became the Youth Coordinator at Southern Lights. He also spent time overseas studying and travelling and pursuing a professional soccer career. In 2006 Caleb completed his Bachelor's degree with Honours in Exercise Science.
Despite varying options with study, work and sports Caleb felt the distinct call of God upon his life at the beginning of 2006. This encounter with God increased Caleb's passion to pursue his purpose in God and to lead a life of uncompromising obedience to the will of God. In 2007 he received his credentials as a trainee minister.
Caleb is currently the Youth and Young Adults Pastor at Southern Lights and is heavily involved in the leadership and direction of the church. He has a heart to see young people saved, discipled and matured into their full potential. Caleb is also the Youth Director for the Christian Revival Crusade in Victoria.
