New Hakatere Presbyterian Parish minister Reverend Johanna Warren. It’s been almost six years since Presbyterian churches in Hampstead and Tinwald have had a full time minister, but that has now changed. The two churches have now combined to form the newly named Hakatere Presbyterian Parish. Rev Warren hails from Northland and replaces the last full time minister Luisa Fruean, who departed for Milton in early 2014. Rev Warren was at a church in Feilding before making the move south and has also been a minister in Marlborough.
