Pr David Haupt – Director of Adventist Community Services in NNSW
After pastoring for 11 years in South Africa, David and his wife Constance and two children, Danielle and David Jnr. immigrated to Australia in 1999. Since then David has been working in NSW and Australia in various community and pastoral roles. Part of his work entailed setting up the ADRA Drug Intervention Centre at Cabramatta (1999) and the Blacktown ADRA Community Centre (2004). David was awarded the Australian Centenary Medal for the development of a unique approach to Drug intervention.
David has a passion for seeing our church engage missionally with our local communities, which led him to successfully advocate for the reestablishment of the Adventist Community Services department within the NNSW Conference in 2017.
