The Ministry Team

The Vicar:     The Revd Ian Hardcastle, M.E. (Electr), MTh

Picture
I came to ministry from a 22 year career in Computer Software Development.  Called into ordained ministry while in England, I studied at St John's College, Nottingham and served as a Curate at St James', Calisle.  A call back to NZ, brought us back to Auckland and to St Stephen's in 2009.

Helen, my wife, has a background in nursing and ministry training from YWAM and part-time study at St John's resulting in a Certficate of Theology and Ministry.  Helen is neither ordained nor paid but serves in many roles, leading the prayer ministry team, some preaching, home group leadership and more.


Hon. Assistant Priest, Pastoral Care Co-Ordinator: The Revd Anne Aspden




Anne brings huge experience with her from nursing, airline hostess, teaching and years in ordained ministry in Wellington Diocese. 

She heads up our pastoral care programme ... and is involved in many other things too.
