Lesley Mathews comes from a musical background ‑ having learned piano from an early age; singing in choirs for many years and then teaching piano privately for ten years.
Worship Leading has become an integral part of church life for her ‑ having led worship for the past 15 years. Her passion is singing and praising the King of Kings.
Recently, Lesley has lived her dream of recording a worship album ‑ Endless Grace ‑ featuring 7 of her own songs plus 3 well‑known favourites.
Endless Grace was successfully launched on 30th November, 2003 at QUT Gardens Theatre in Brisbane City. Over 200 people attended the evening which presented the reason behind the album in multi‑media format, plus a live performance by Lesley of a few of the songs on the album. The multimedia presentation was the work of Lesley's son Ben and showed the areas of Thailand and Cambodia that the proceeds of the CD will be going toward.
A very special contribution on this album is Lesley's daughter, Megan, who joins her in a duct in "You are my God", as well as backing vocals on several of the songs.
It is Lesley's prayer that the music on this album will draw the listener to the Father Heart of God. It contains a "black & white" message of the cross and unashamedly challenges the discerning listener to choose Him now.
Lesley worships at "The Vine" Community Christian Church, Springwood and is blessed with a loving husband and children who all support her in her mission to draw people into the presence of God.
