Dejan Stojkovic was born in Kragujevac, Serbia, where he grew up during the complex years of post-communist transition and regional conflict. Despite these challenges, his heart for ministry and love for Jesus continued to deepen. In 2001, he moved to England to study theology at Newbold College, where he completed both undergraduate and postgraduate degrees.

While at Newbold, Dejan launched the student-led worship service Experience, which became a catalyst for vibrant worship and spiritual renewal. He later served as youth pastor at Stanborough Park Church, where he established the Parallel Service—a creative outreach and reclamation ministry for youth and young adults.

Over the years, Dejan has held several key leadership roles, including Youth and Pathfinder Director for the Trans-European Division, Youth Director for the British Union Conference, and Teen Ministries, AVS, and Chaplaincy Coordinator at the South England Conference. He currently serves as the Youth Ministries Director for the Greater Sydney Conference.

In 2010, Dejan married Deana, and together they are raising four beautiful children—Zara, Stefan, Ana, and Filip. As a husband, father, and pastor, Dejan is deeply committed to building strong families and equipping faith-filled youth to live boldly for Christ.

His life mission is to prepare young people for the second coming of Jesus.
