Convergence Camp

Convergence Camp

Convergence Camp is the gathering of the top of the south Anglicans at Bethany Park in Kaiteriteri. It’s a chance to start the year with celebration and unity. There’s something really special about gathering as the wider Nelson Anglican whanau. Coming out of your own place and being part of something bigger to be uplifted, encouraged and equipped as God’s people.

It’s a great way to kick the year off with people from our own faith community and it’s great fun. It’s also a really good time of refreshment, spending time in such a beautiful place. All ages are welcome at Convergence Camp, we have families, the more ‘mature’ among us and lots of young people. It’s just one big whanau.

Who’s Speaking?

Mark and Kirsty have led the wonderfully diverse and eccentric St Tom’s Church in Newtown, Wellington since 2015. Mark was also the Supervising Chaplain at Victoria University from 2011 to 2017. Prior to coming to New Zealand, Mark was the director of the Minneapolis base of Steiger International (a ministry that came out of YWAM in Amsterdam) and pastor of The Salvage Yard Church, a church to the counter culture (punks, hippies, artists, musicians, and university students) that was planted out of that ministry. For the last five years they have also led a team (St Tom’s on Wheels) that has functioned as a traveling Jesus Community that brings the love of God to the new age hippie scene at festivals and in towns across New Zealand. Mark Johnson has been appointed the new vicar at Golden Bay Parish. 

This year the theme is A Gospel shaped life for telling others the good news.
