I am delighted to share the news that, through the grace of God, a Youth Ministry Enabler has been appointed to serve at Taranaki Cathedral and for the Taranaki Bishopric. Karen Teo - who has experience as a social worker, in youth ministry, and is a person of prayer and faith - has accepted a calling to this new role. We are very thankful to God for Karen's appointment - and look forward to her joining our team during January. Please follow this link for more information.

With aroha,
