Funding Appeal – Support our Youth Ministry

We are aiming to raise $50,000 to sustain this important ministry. Thank you to those who have already responded, we are on our way with $14,100 already pledged/donated.

If you are able to support this work, please make a donation to:
Karori Anglican Church
Account: 02 0500 0019955 00
Reference: Youth Work

Every dollar makes a difference and directly impacts the lives of our young people. Thank you for being part of this mission and for investing in the future of our faith community.

Since joining Karori Anglican in August 2022, Ben, our Youth Minister, has brought energy, heart, and vision to our Youth Ministry. Under his faithful and consistent leadership, this vital area of parish life has flourished — young people are growing in their faith, forming meaningful connections, and becoming active participants in the life of our church.

Ben’s ministry is more than weekly gatherings and youth events. He is mentoring teens, supporting families, building bridges between generations, and creating a safe, Christ-centred space where our young people feel valued, heard, and inspired to follow Jesus.

All of this is only possible through the generosity of our church community. The funds raised previously to support this ministry have now been fully used. To continue this transformative work, we are launching a Youth Ministry Funding Appeal and are asking you to prayerfully consider contributing towards Ben’s ongoing salary and ministry costs.
