Taya Gaukrodger comes from a country town in the north of Australia. In 2010 she relocated to Sydney to pursue a career in music. Soon after arriving she got involved at Hillsong Church and began volunteering in youth, and young adult ministries. The world first heard Taya’s voice in Hillsong United’s ‘Oceans’ and ‘Touch The Sky’ and from that moment, her voice became an unmistakable clarion call to worship across the world. Taya is most passionate about worship that points people to Jesus and her hope is to lead people to worship more authentically and passionately as they discover more about Him.

Caleb graduates from Ankeny Centennial this year. He wants to go into construction, and go to trade school for that. He’s been diagnosed with autism and ADHD, so just prayer that he would be a successful, happy adult who loves Jesus despite his diagnoses. His dad went to be with Jesus about 18 months ago, and that’s been really hard.
