Spiritual Growth Ministries

This is a new supportive ministry in the North New Zealand Conference, as of June 2008. This ministry is in line with a priority determined at our last Constituency Meeting—the need to encourage devotion to Christ and discipleship among our members, and to foster a more conscious focus on reaching people for the Lord.

Ed Gallagher leads Spiritual Growth Ministries. Ed is an experienced pastor, teacher, communicator and field worker who comes to us from a similar role in Rocky Mountain Conference, USA. He is a New Zealander by birth.
