Pastor:

Rex MorganOur pastor, Rex Morgan, was born in Christchurch in 1951. His family was involved with the Worldwide Church of God from the time it began reaching NZ with the distribution from Australia of magazines, booklets and a radio broadcast. Rex’s parents had moved north to the Waikato, and his family was present during the early services of the Church in Auckland in the late sixties.
 
In 1970, Rex went to Ambassador College at Bricket Wood, England. After graduation in 1974, he took up a job in the mailing area of the Church’s office in Auckland and later worked with the circulation and advertising of the church's several magazines. He was ordained as a minister in 1979, and has served in many of the NZ congregations over the years, as well as having particular responsibilities in working with our congregations in Vanuatu.
 
Rex is married to Marilyn, and has two adult children, both married, and three grandchildren. He has served as pastor of the Auckland congregation since July 2000.
 
Rex is happy to answer any queries you may have. Please feel free to contact him at phone (09) 489 8910, fax (09) 489 8920, mob (027) 439 6010, or email here.
 
Pastoral Team:

The Auckland pastoral team helps the pastor in providing pastoral care to the congregation.  This includes functions such as worship leading, visiting, conselling, preaching, teaching, outreach and evangelism.

The first pastoral team was established in 2000, and meetings have been held approximately every three months since then.  Currently the team comprises David and Marilyn Wong, Gael McInnes and Rex Morgan.

Local Advisory Council:

As with most congregations of the WCG in Australasia, Auckland has a Local Advisory Council (LAC), which advises the pastor and pastoral team on matters concerning the physical administration of the congregation (budgeting, strategic planning, activities, outreach ideas, advertising, etc.).

Many members of the congregation have served on the LAC since its establishment in 1999.  Generally, new members are elected by the congregation, and they serve for a maximum of three years.  The team selects a chairman and a secretary.  Meetings are held every month or two, and are always minuted.

As of January 2008, the LAC comprises the following members: Gwen Donald, Owen Hooper (chair), John Mata'afa, Gael Nottingham, and Jim Wood (secretary).
