The young people of the College of the Diocese of Polynesia – St John’s Theological College, Auckland.
We are lay people of Polynesia studying at different degrees at St John ’s College. Out of ten students, there are five of us who are involved with the youth. We all belong to different youth groups, as a Bishopric we meet once a month. As a college we meet all the time for different things. Our purpose is to hopefully we all go into some sort of ministry – but other than that we just study…..
We hope that when we leave St John’s that we go into youth, administration, education, etc ministry for the church. Please pray for Youth and ministry
