Stewarding Renewal
Laidlaw Centre for Church Leadership exists to love and serve the Church of Aotearoa New Zealand by providing her leaders with the tools, support, and guidance they need to flourish. Join us for a one day conference as we gather with leaders from across the region to connect, be inspired and encouraged, and discuss issues relevant to the Church in Aotearoa. Morning tea and lunch is included.
“More and more, stories are emerging of green shoots in surprising places: tales of people without church backgrounds turning up at church quite unexpectedly, more frequent conversations with those curious about Jesus, dramatic spiritual encounters that we could never have facilitated. There is a sense that the upheaval of Covid, global political shifts, and financial uncertainty in recent years has shifted something: the fragmentation and failure of secularism and new atheism was perhaps preparing the ground. It seems like something is happening - a quiet renewal.”

Greig Whittaker in Wellington
Venue: The Street Offices (21 Hania St, Mt Victoria).
Greig is the Director of Network and Movement of ‘City to City’ Australia, and a member of the ‘Movement Australia’ team. Greig is visiting Christchurch in July and I’ve invited him to Wellington to share with us what God is doing in the ‘city-wide ministry space’ in Australia and inspire us towards greater unity of the Church in Wellington, and a QnA time afterwards. Greig has co-authored a book called ‘Unity for Movement’ which invites the reader to explore the profound possibility of the power we hold when the Christian Church comes together as one, offering a pathway to transforming our cities through collective effort.
