Chad & Jaye Mansbridge are the founding pastors of Bayside Church, South Australia, where they were ordained at just 23 years of age. Having led Bayside for 20 years, they transitioned their role as lead pastors in 2022 and relocated their family to the mid-north coast of New South Wales. Together, they are proud parents to Jesse, Ebony, Charlie and Zoey.
In order to support the growing demand for their ministry worldwide, in 2010 Chad & Jaye founded i5812 Ministries—the name being a reference to Isaiah 58:11¬–12: ‘The LORD will guide you always … you will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins, and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings’.
Between them, they have authored three books: ‘He Qualifies You!’ (2010—Chad); ‘A Glorious Canvas (2019–Jaye); and the multi-award winning ‘You Can Handle the Truth: Making Sense of the Bible in 3 Simple Steps’ (2021–Chad).
Chad is a dynamic teacher of God’s Word, known for his ability to communicate profound and complex truth with clarity, simplicity, and a whole lot of fun. Both he and Jaye are regularly invited to speak at churches, colleges and conference events throughout Australia and overseas.
