Kathy Downes

journeystone Pastoral Supervision

“All my life You have been faithful.” Those words from a worship song capture the heart of Kathy Downes’s story—a story of God’s faithfulness through every season. Kathy came to know Jesus as a teenager, married her high school sweetheart, and found her spiritual home when she discovered the Vineyard. From there, she found her calling in pastoral ministry and church planting, experiencing God’s faithful provision through years of bi-vocational work and His sustaining grace through the privilege of co-leading Vineyard Australia.

Over many years of ministry, Kathy’s passions have taken shape around encouraging women to step confidently into their Kingdom calling, equipping the Church in practical and life-giving ways, and helping pastors and leaders build resilience for healthy, sustainable ministry. More recently—despite several unsuccessful attempts at retirement!—she’s had the privilege of serving through pastoral supervision, continuing to walk alongside leaders as they pursue all that God has for them.
