Ric Thorpe has been the Associate Pastor for Youth at MBC since 2005.

 Ric has a vision and passion to see the youth of our community have a relationship with Jesus Christ and each week Ric and his teams are involved in school ministries at Mooroolbark College and with 'Amplified Youth' at Mooroolbark Baptist Church as well as our Nitelife services.

Ric enjoys spending time with his wife Nicole and young family (Kayla and Jordan) and works out on the squash court, long walks along the beach, plus enjoys the adventures of the great outdoors on 2 wheels.

His favourite pasttime is always having a good cup of coffee and you may catch him at the Moo Bar in Mooroolbark.
