Craig and Vonnie Hughes
Campus Pastors,
East Campus
Craig and Vonnie first met at Bible College in Adelaide in 1992, before marrying in 1995. They served together as regional youth leaders at Paradise Assemblies of God Church and have fulfilled various
volunteer roles at Planetshakers Conference since its launch in 1997.
In 2003, Craig and Vonnie relocated from Adelaide to Melbourne to support Pastors Russell and Sam Evans as they planted their first Planetshakers Church campus in the city. Both felt a strong call to
ministry and were committed to serving in whatever capacity was needed: Craig as a member of the Planetshakers Board and Eldership, and Vonnie as a children’s pastor and leader of a mothers group.
Craig and Vonnie have continued to serve faithfully as volunteers at Planetshakers Church for the last 20 years whilst concurrently working as an airline pilot and private school teacher.
Craig has a strong prophetic gift on his life and is passionate about seeing people realise their potential in every sphere of life and influence their work places for Jesus. He is an inspirational Bible teacher and regularly lectures at Planetshakers Bible College when he is not flying planes. Vonnie recently followed the call of God to step out of her teaching career to serve full-time as the East Campus Pastor of Planetshakers Church. She is a gifted communicator and leader who has a passion to see people flourish in every season of their lives. She has written a parenting course for Planetshakers and has been involved in writing leadership curriculum for the Believe missions arm of Planetshakers Church.
Craig and Vonnie’s two children, Emilie and Evan, have grown up serving Jesus. Emilie is a Planetboom pastor and gifted worship leader and singer, currently on staff at Planetshakers Church. Evan volunteers as a drummer and teaches in the School of Creative Arts at Planetshakers Church while studying at Deakin University.
Having lived in the East since moving to Melbourne in 2003, the Hughes family have a heart to reach the lost, make disciples and build God’s Kingdom in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia and beyond.
