Senior Pastors At Mount Annan Church. Phillip Carrero.
They are not only great preachers of the Word but they have lived it for the 45 years of their married life. This is evident in their family of four married children and eleven grandchildren. They have successfully raised their children to become strong and committed servants of God that are helping build His kingdom in areas of influence.
With over 40 years of ministry experience they have planted seven churches, and until 2009 were the pioneers and senior ministers of C3 Church Mount Annan for 34 years, overseeing its growth from a congregation of less than 20 to over 1000 members.
Currans Hill artist Phil Carrero started as an impressionable 16 year old drawing charcoal portraits through the streets of Buenos Aires. He worked his way up from drawing to painting and begun to sell his works around that time. Coming to Australia in 1973 , at the age of 23, Mr Carrero continued his studies in Art and completed an apprenticeship for four months to get himself better acquainted with portraiture painting. Meanwhile, for almost ten years produced and sold many ship portraits and marine paintings. -After that I begun getting around 12 commissions a year for just portraits. That's the point when he begun to make a living out of painting-, he said. He paints in the Traditional, Realistic style ... English and Italian schools, his portraits can resemble the Grand Manner style of the 19th and 20th centuries in England and later, America.
