Paul and Maree are the Senior Pastors of LIFE, a church they pioneered back in October 1991.  Since then it has grown to more than 6,000 people from all ages, nationalities and walks of life – it is a church that truly reflects the social and cultural diversity found here in New Zealand’s largest city! 
 
LIFE is now located at two main centres, Central and South Auckland, with Sunday extension services also held on the Hibiscus Coast and in West Auckland.

Throughout its 16-year history the mission statement of LIFE has been: “To impact and change our generation with the reality of Jesus.”  Paul and Maree have a passion to live and lead by example and see the church win back the right to positively influence their city and nation.

With a heart for the wider body of Christ, Paul says: “We are committed to developing church leadership and influencing others to reach their full potential across the denominational spectrum.”  LIFE demonstrates this commitment by hosting a number of national conferences and training initiatives, including LIFE Leadership College.

Both Paul and Maree and their three sons believe that the local Church is the hope of the world and a place where we all learn to do life in a real, honest and God-centred environment.
