Gregg Morris
Born in Aotearoa (New Zealand) Gregg has heritage from two islands - Samoa in the Pacific and Ireland in the Atlantic. This means he feels at home in both warm & cold climates! He loves football (the round ball version) and supports the Wellington Phoenix even though he lives in Melbourne. Gregg and his wife Bronwyn were residents at Urban Seed from 1997 to 2000. In the years that followed, Gregg worked in both Melbourne and Auckland as a drug safety worker for young male clients, running a residential home for young women coming out of prostitution and with high school students with learning & behavioral needs.
Gregg is an accredited trainer of Response Ability Pathways.
Moriah Hurst
Moriah has spent her life bouncing between the USA, Canada and Australia and loves visiting other cultures. Working with youth started when Moriah was still considered a youth herself and has continued for the last 15 years in churches, schools and camps. The last few years her work has focused more on discipleship and leadership development with 18-25 year olds.
In 2008 Moriah finished up her Master of Divinity with a Youth Ministry focus and moved to Melbourne to work with Praxis at the start of 2011.

Tim is married to Jay and they have two little boys, Tuscan and River. He and Jay have spent recent years living in community in Preston where they connect with and serve their neighbours. Tim has a Bachelor in Theology and experience in ministries ranging from traditional youth and young adults ministry to missional church and local neighbourhood community development.
