Riverside Community Church - Welcome to our Family

Hi, I'm married to Graeme. We have two children Lisa and Andrew and grandchildren. I have lived in the Kaiapoi area for many years and have worked in day care and preschools in the past. Currently I work at an after school care program.

I love connecting with mums and preschools and look forward to meeting you.

Jon & Rachel Hales

We’ve been married since October 2002 and have 4 amazing children - Isaac, Paris, Mathis and Ruby.  We both love a decent coffee, long walks on the beach, watching rugby (Jon) and having great holidays.

We were assistant pastors in New Plymouth for 11 years before sensing the call to Kaiapoi in March of 2013. 

Our heart is to go after the lost, see people truly saved and help them to find healing and wholeness.  We love to see people find where they fit in the body of Christ, discover the joy of serving and come through to maturity.  We value the presence of God and seeing his gifts operating in the body of Christ.

Riverside is called to help people follow Jesus and impact communities. 

Hi, I am married to Ps Jon and have 4 amazing children, Isaac, Paris, Mathis and Ruby.

I have been involved with church preschool ministry for 10 years. I love interacting with small children and sharing about how amazing our God is. I also believe an important part of our ministry is to connect with, love and encourage all the great Mums, Dads and Carers.

Aroma worship is birthed out of a hunger and desire to come together corporately as women to worship our Lord and Saviour, allow His Holy Spirit to move freely, receive His truth, and healing, and be encouraged to continue to walk in His will.
