Vision

To connect faith with everyday life.

Mission

To provide leadership, support and oversight to parishes and ministries in the Wellington region.

The Wellington Presbytery is committed to corporately caring for its faith communities and enabling them to make Jesus Christ known. This is carried out by:

• Holding meetings that are well run, informative, interactive, spiritually enlivening and enjoyable.

• Communicating effectively with parishes / faith communities and actively encouraging them in their mission.

• Having a care for the clergy (ministers) and lay people (all the others) in Presbytery's charge, meeting training and support needs as they arise.

• Attending promptly to all financial and property matters in an open and supportive manner.

• Identifying all those organisations and situations of the wider Church that need its input and providing informed comment.

• Acknowledging the Treaty of Waitangi

• Being inclusive of all the cultures in our Presbytery, particulary supporting the work of the Pacific Island faith communities, the Wellington Maori Pastorate and the Wellington Korean Church.

• Encouraging and supporting initiatives for families and young people across the Presbytery.

• Acknowledging that a third of the parishes are uniting parishes (joined with another denomination) or co-operating ventures.
