Aaron Hodgson - Youth Pastor
Aaron is a proud resident of the breathtaking Bay of Plenty, hailing from the charming town of Te Puke. With a beautiful wife and two adorable girls by his side, his passion lies in spreading the message of the Gospel and inspiring others to lead a life devoted to Jesus. His journey began in 2010 when he enrolled in Pathways Bible College and completed his Diploma in Ministry, laying the foundation for his biblical pursuits. In 2015, he and his wife ventured to Adelaide for further training, and Aaron earned his Bachelor of Ministries through Adelaide College of Ministries and Bible College of South Australia. Fast forward to 2018, and Aaron is now a Youth Pastor here at RSCC, where he thrives on teaching the Bible, indulging in sports, and immersing himself in nature.
Nick Goodwin - Associate Pastor
Nick’s time is predominantly spent in outward-focused roles. He is the coordinator of the Pastoral Theologians Fellowship for Christian Community Churches New Zealand (CCCNZ), meaning he is involved in fostering theological conversations and the application of theology across the CCCNZ network of churches. In addition, he works with students and staff at Waikato University, both in partnership with Tertiary Students Christian Fellowship (TSCF, a national Christian student movement), and as part of the campus chaplaincy team. A scientist by training, until 2017 Nick worked at the Ministry of Health in Wellington, and before that in the English health system. He is married to Jo and they have two children, Hannah and Theodore. Family time is usually spent on hockey, cricket, music, long tramps, board games, and discussions of Mycenaean civilization, the French revolution, and Modernista architecture.
