OUR TEAM

come as you are, but don't stay as you are – be transformed by Jesus

Steve Worsley

Lead Pastor

Steve heads MABC’s staff team and is involved in teaching, vision setting and leadership. As well as doing many of the sermons in our services, he’s occasionally roped in to play the piano. That’s because he was a professional concert pianist before he changed careers. Steve and his wife Jo came to MABC three years ago after leading Petone Baptist Church in Wellington. They made the big move north with their three daughters Madeleine, Amelia and Alice.
