St. John's Shaughnessy Church has a long and rich history of teaching God's word. We have been blessed with a number of faithful Bible teachers who are recognized around the world. Among these are Rev. David Short and Dr. Rev. J. I. Packer.

They have run a large youth ministry with over 500 young people, and have worked in a church plant starting with less than ten young people.

In addition, Ken was a consultant with the Prebysterian Church of Queensland, Australia and the Anglican Diocese of Perth. During that time, they started up "Youth Surge". This is a regional gathering of youth groups that is held all over Australia several times a year. This year, there will be 55 youth surges attended by 5,000 youth and youth leaders!
