David Gogoll

I’ve had the privilege of being pastor in the Bethany Tabor parish since 1994.

I grew up in the Barossa and was a winemaker at Seppeltsfield before being called to pastoral ministry. After studies in Adelaide and Perth I served parishes on the Darling Downs in Queensland and then Albany, Western Australia before coming back to the Barossa.

I'm married and have four sons and four grandchildren.

I love the beauty of the great outdoors and enjoy camping and kayaking.

I’m continually astounded by the gracious love which motivates God to include us in his family and favour us with his constant presence and blessing. I enjoy witnessing and being part of what God is up to in this part of the world.

“The joy of the Lord is your strength” Nehemiah 8:10

Family Ministry Director - Bethany Tabor Lutheran Parish. Based in The Hub at 83 Murray Street, Tanunda SA

We're people loved by God and gather to worship at Bethany and Tabor churches.

We're committed to “Living for Jesus, Growing in Jesus, Sharing Jesus with others.”

We value God’s gracious love for all people and aim to demonstrate this love in our lives.

We welcome everyone to join us at worship and invite participation in all aspects of the worship.

We value the ministry of both women and men.

As you'll be aware the government has for the time being put a stop to all worship in our churches.

This doesn't mean we stop worshiping - we just need to do it differently.

We'll provide helps for worshipping in the "latest news' section

Let us know via email if you have any specific requests

At this stage it might still be appropriate to meet in very small groups while keeping the 1.5 m social distance.

Bethany Cemetery Information

In 1842, Bethanien (Bethany) was the first village to be established in Neuschlesien (New Silesia - the Barossa Valley) by a group of German Lutheran migrants many of whom had arrived with Pastor Gotthard Daniel Fritzsche on the Skjold in 1841. First services were held in the open or under a tree, then in the School Room built ca 1843.
