Introducing Our People

Paul Heard, Vicar
Paul came to Sumner-Redcliffs parish from Nelson in 2003, some might suggest to be closer to the Canterbury ski fields.  He has a gift for teaching and has special interests in the areas of Alpha, home groups and healing ministry.  He worked initially as Associate Vicar, then in 2009 was appointed as Vicar.  His wife Kay also has a calling to the healing ministry.

Position vacant
Sam Knight Sam Knight, Youth Pastor
Relating to young people helps make a good Youth Pastor.  Sam has that talent and alongside his enthusiasm and popularity with our young people, he also brings wisdom and respect to his role.  Five years after giving his life to the Lord, Sam felt the call to work with young people and in 2005 he offered himself for the position of Youth Pastor at Sumner-Redcliffs.  He is supported in this work by his wife Kim and they are parents to two teenagers.  Recently Sam completed a degree course with Bible College of New Zealand.
