Raleigh St Christian Centre Incorporated is an incorporated society, formed under the Incorporated Societies Act 1908. It acts as a legal entity for the local church body itself.
Chairperson - Luke Goodwin
Secretary - Ellen Heebink
Treasurer - Brent Martin
Because the incorporated society is a legal entity, it is possible for it to be involved in contracts, and lend or borrow money. In the past, if we wanted to do this, then the people who organised such things might well have been legally liable themselves.
It also means that when members or employees (like pastors) are working on behalf of the church, they are not just working on their own (from a legal standpoint). So it provides a degree of protection.
Finally, it means that we have to have an Annual General Meeting (AGM), a set of financial accounts, and a membership list. This gives you greater visibility into the running of the organisation.
The RSCC Inc Special General Meeting took place on 23 November 2025 - and the proposed new constitution was approved by the Members. The next step of re-registration under the new Incorporated Society’s legislation can now commence. Until re-registration is complete the current Rules 2011 will remain in place. We will of course keep you posted.
We will keep the meeting documents available to view on this page for a while longer to allow people to have easy access to them. Please contact the Chair or the Board secretary if you have any questions.
