Supporting the Nelson Church Plant.

We are thrilled to be sending the growing team to plant in Nelson. Part of our commitment is to support them financially in the first two years. We are looking to raise $45,000 for those two years in order to get this ship on the ocean! A further $45,000 will be raised by our family of churches in the Pacific Rim.

We will be having Nelson Church Plant Gift Days on:

Please pray and come prepared to give.
