Pastor

Thalia Kehoe Rowden came to be our pastor at the beginning of 2008, fresh from training at Carey Baptist College.

Before that she’d trained as a lawyer at Victoria University and worked as a youth pastor at Karori Baptist Church in Wellington, and before that… well, you’ll just have to come along and ask her.

She’s a child of the 1980s, an excellent parallel parker, a bubbly, creative, down-to-earth kiwi who loves her job and struggles with chronic illnesses and all the stuff that we humans have trouble with, like understanding our place in God’s universe.  She loves being at West and would be keen to get to know you if you come along.
