MISSION HUB
New Zealand
Helping disciples build a culture of
prayer, leadership and mission.
A fire has been ignited in our nation — a fire of hope, faith, and renewal.
Mission Hub New Zealand is a space to lift our nation in prayer, and to connect and equip like-minded missionary disciples for mission across Aotearoa New Zealand. This mission is rooted in prayer, sustained by community, and strengthened through ongoing formation and connection. We stand alongside parishes, the clergy, and Catholic institutions — supporting, encouraging, and resourcing them — to proclaim the Good News of Christ.
You are invited to continue the journey of renewal.
- Renewal of your own heart
- Renewal of our parishes
- Renewal of our communities
- Renewal of our nation
Zoom Meeting
Monday, 14 September 2026 7:00-8:30pm NZT
What is the heart of the Gospel we are called to share?
Join Fr Chris Ryan MGL, founder of the Areté Centre for Missionary Leadership, as we explore the kerygma – the simple, powerful proclamation at the heart of the Christian faith: the Good News of Jesus Christ and what his life, death and resurrection mean for us.
How do we share this Good News in a way that is clear, joyful and inviting? And how can we become more confident in speaking about the person of Jesus with those around us?

This session was a collaboration between Mission Hub and the Catholic Enquiry Centre where Clare Bell explored how Alpha can transcend the “course” model and become a practical, powerful engine for parish transformation. Clare is the new Alpha Catholic Engagement Manager. Connect with Clare at clare@alpha.org.nz
It was such a great session we want to continue the conversation! Use the FEEDBACK BUTTON to continue the conversation—share your questions, what’s working in your parish, and what the Lord might be calling you to.
