Maniototo Vacancy

If you have a heart for the wide-open spaces and a hankering to minister among like-minded people maybe the Maniototo is calling you.

Here in the heart of the ‘big-sky’ country of Central Otago, timelessly captured by the brush of Graham Sidney, this faith community is seeking a vital and inclusive ministry, able to lead a congregation which, though theologically diverse, accepts one another as common servants of Christ.

The parish, with a population of approx 1700, is focused on Ranfurly, the service centre for a sheep and beef-farming district with a growing touch of tourism.

A full parish profile is available from:
