Ps Dermot Cottuli - 06 Oct 2024

  • Summary

  • Ps Dermot Cottuli was born to Irish parents who immigrated to Australia when he was five. He was part of a big family, with six sisters and one brother. He spent most of his early years in a social housing estate in the Western Suburbs of Sydney (Mt Druitt). Dermot was brought up catholic but had a brush with the Charismatic movement when he was 14. At the time, his dad was an alcoholic and Dermot had an encounter with God where he made a promise that if God got his dad off the grog he’d become a priest. The very next day his dad woke up, turned to his wife and said 'I’m an alcoholic and need help'. Dermot’s dad went cold turkey off the grog from that moment onward and never touched another drop for the rest of his life! Dermot joined the army out of high school and was posted to Townsville. He thought a Christian youth group would be a good place to meet girls, so he ended up at Calvary youth one night. This led to Dermot committing his life to Jesus, being discharged from the army and going to Bible College. After college, Dermot moved to Tassie with a mate and his wife and helped plant a church. He also did a bachelor of education and met his wife, Debra. Over the years, Dermot has served in youth ministry and been senior pastor at two churches, including for the past 20+ years at Grace Church in Tassie. Dermot and Debra have 4 adult kids together.
