Vicar – Rev Dr Joshua Taylor

Kia ora, I’m Joshua. I am married to Jo, and we have three daughters: Phoebe, Esther, and Eve. I was born and raised in Canterbury and love living here in beautiful Christchurch. I have experience in youth ministry, as a spiritual director, and several years as a Vicar in Timaru. I also care about good governance, leadership, and theological education and I serve on the board for Laidlaw College. I am passionate about preaching the good news of Jesus Christ and helping others grow as followers of Jesus. In my spare time I really enjoy fishing for trout and running.
