FROM SESSION:
We are moving through the steps and processes required to call a new minister. A Special Congregation Meeting was held to elect members who will represent the congregation on The Ministry Settlement Board. This Board’s task is to find a new minister and will be chaired by Ron Mills, minister from Orewa.
Interim Ministry - The following has been put in place until we have secured a new minister:
- Sean du Toit will lead services on two Sundays per month. He has experience in ministry, for 5 years was involved in church planting and he lectures at the AOG Bible College. Sean is commencing his doctorial studies at Laidlaw College (Bible College of NZ) having been a masters student last year. He is a very dynamic 30 year old and will lead our fortnightly staff, youth & children’s leaders meeting.
- As you are aware we have many talented people in our congregation and they will bring the word on other Sundays with help from the occasional visitor.
- Julian Latimer Will be involved in Worship Leading, Music (particularly in the 2nd service), Youth and Young Adults.
- Interim Moderator: Lester Simpson, a retired minister who lives in Army Bay, has oversight of our parish. He will be available if there are any particular concerns or issues. Many of the congregation know him as he has led services and funerals in the past.
