Over the next couple of months we will be introducing one member of staff per week so that you can get to know who’s on the team, what they’re responsible for and what kind of snacks they like… Name: Ian Cook Job Title: Priest in Charge (9/10ths fulltime) Key Responsibilities: I’m a husband and dad of three kids.

On Mondays I meet with individual staff on a rotating basis, this includes the heads of SMASH and ECEC. I then take the music and storytelling at Playgroup. In the afternoon we have a weekly staff meeting. The rest of the week is taken up writing sermons, preparing services and /or music and partaking in various meetings including discipleship, management, 9 am service or building project groups. Then there are the evening vestry, ECEC management and finance meetings plus special pastoral visits as well as any funerals, weddings or baptisms that I have been asked to take. Every Wednesday I spend a morning at Massey University, Wellington where I oversee the student chaplaincy morning service, breakfast and café and chaplaincy team.
