What We Do
Our program creates the opportunity for you to become part of a flourishing faith community, one where you both shape it and are shaped by it. We are committed to building an encouraging, Holy Spirit-filled environment that draws you into the presence of your Shaper. Together, we will step into a deeper relationship with Jesus and respond to His call to ministry.
We’ll spend time discovering the passions and abilities God has given us, equipping us to reach the worldwide surfing community. As the hands and feet of the church, we will step into multiple opportunities to serve communities around New Zealand, seeking to meet the real needs of people’s souls, not just their surface-level problems.
These five months are designed to push you beyond your comfort zone and grow you in your passions, leadership, and personal potential in every sphere of life.
