Fritz was born in Namibia (southern Africa), studying theology in Stellenbosch University in South Africa, and completing his Master of Divinity in 2013. He was ordained to ministry in the Dutch Reformed Church serving in several locations before moving to Australia in 2018. Since then he’s been connected to the Uniting Church here in Queensland – involved in youth ministry, hospital chaplaincy, and parish ministry.
Fritz is passionate about telling the good news of God – a recent comment was “God doesn’t give us what we deserve – God showers us with his abundant and overflowing love and embrace”. He’s also really into pastoral care, working with young people, and building disciples of Christ.
He and his wife, Helené, (they met at Uni) are both keen athletes, so fit right in to the Sunshine Coast scene! Kawana Waters Uniting Church is excited to join in the journey with Fritz wherever God takes us in the coming months and years.
