We are launching a leadership training cohort for women in ministry – Te Puna Wāhine.

Te Puna Wāhine is a Māori phrase that can be translated as “the wellspring of women” or “women as a life-giving spring”. The vision behind Te Puna Wāhine is that women in ministry are called to be wells of life in the communities they serve, places where others encounter encouragement, spiritual nourishment, and the presence of Christ.

Te Puna Wāhine leadership cohort will be a six-month commitment from April to September, which includes a monthly input meeting and weekly gatherings in groups of three for deeper conversation, prayer, encouragement, and accountability. The cohort is open to all women in the diocese who are serving or interested in serving in the church or wider community (with sessions accessible to all online via Zoom to make participation from afar easier).

A Zoom link for the information evening will be sent out closer to the time.
