Pauline

 

Pauline and Stan Stewart have worked as team leaders in ministry for many years in NZ, Australia and USA.  They have worked with churches in building community, growing all age worship, and initiating festivals and special events reaching beyond the life of the church.  Stan works half of his time at St Heliers and consults with other churches when he is able.
St Heliers Church and Community Centre shares one mission and a large number of people as well as the ministers work to make that mission a reality.  Actually the people of our congregations are key team members.  However, team leaders coordinate things and ensure our people are cared for and that our mission is 7 days a week.
