Our churches are lead by teaching elders, who are also called ministers. They serve the Church in response to their sense of a Call from God.
Our ministers train at the Knox Centre for Ministry & Leadership, after completing a recognised tertiary theology qualification. Their training at the Knox Centre includes time as an intern in a local church as well as block courses in Dunedin.
Ministers receive a stipend and housing, as well as some other benefits, in return for serving in one of our 416 congregations.
