On Thursday, it was a real privilege to gather with 10 pastors from CCCNZ/OBH Churches (along with 20 others) in Auckland to hear more about the City to City Church Planting 18-month Learning Community starting in 2024.
Picture above, from left to right: Daryl Bay (Hope Community Church), Clint Craig (LifeSwitch), Joel Birkin (Kingston Community Church), Chris Chalmers (Hillcrest Chapel), Lyndon Frost (Te Awamutu Bible Chapel), Bradd Trebilco (Te Awamutu Bible Chapel), Max Guptill (Mt Wellington Community Church), Kristopher Bate (North Beach Christian Fellowship), Roger Osbaldiston, and Dan Tyler (Birkenhead Community Church).
Lovely to have Kristopher Bate from North Beach Christian Fellowship in Canterbury here. North Beach is an Open Brethren heritage church. Kristopher, Jodi and the family have recently moved from Dunedin to Christchurch.
I Ioved hearing the heart and hopes for church planting amongst the various leaders.
