We are excited to update you on the progress of our new website! This exciting development represents a significant step forward in creating a central hub for lay preachers and worship leaders, designed to provide better resources, communication, and support.
Whether you’re looking for event information, resources from past events, or opportunities for professional development, the new website is taking shape to meet these needs and more.
What’s Already Available?
We’ve made significant progress since we started this journey:
- Events Hub: Our new website now hosts event listings, RSVP functionality, and a dedicated email list for event updates.
- Event Resource Pages: For selected events, you can now access dedicated resource pages, including event videos, PowerPoint decks, and handouts.
- Newsletter Infrastructure: The foundation for regular newsletters is now live, with Time to Learn event notices and Governance Notices.
What’s Changed?
As part of this transition, all new events and posts will now be published exclusively on the new website.
What’s Coming Soon?
The new website is a work in progress, and we’re actively developing features to enrich your experience:
- Education Opportunities: We’re committed to supporting your professional development by providing information about relevant courses and papers from New Zealand’s theology education providers.
- User-Submitted Resource Reviews: Help us build a shared collection of useful books, tools, and websites by emailing your recommendations (and reviews) to editor@nzlpa.org.nz.
