Millie Freckelton
Children's and Families Worker

It’s a joy to serve as the Children’s and Families Worker here at Wellspring. I have a passion for supporting families and helping children encounter God’s love in meaningful and engaging ways. My husband, Luke, and I moved to Hobart from Brisbane in 2022 with our two energetic children—Eva and George.

Before stepping into this role, I spent five years as a stay-at-home mum, volunteering in children’s ministry and being led by God to move away from my previous work as an emergency nurse. These experiences have deepened my love for nurturing and teaching children in fun, creative, and faith-filled ways—something I now bring into every aspect of our children’s and families ministry.

Outside of church life, I enjoy spending time in nature—mountain biking, camping, and exploring Tasmania with my family. I feel incredibly grateful to be part of this community and am excited about what God is doing in and through our families.
