Grace Vineyard.
One Church Five Locations.
Welcome
Kia Ora and Welcome to Grace Vineyard.
We are one church in five locations and love to have new people join our ever-increasing whānau.
We understand that it can be a little overwhelming visiting any church for the first time. Our website will help you discover more about what to expect on a Sunday and let you know of the other events and activities around Grace Vineyard Church. Each Sunday, we have people who are curious about Jesus and perhaps unfamiliar with the idea of church, so if you came along this week, you would be in good company. Many people who come to our services have never experienced being in a church before. We would love to see you there.

Dave MacGregor
I grew up as a PK in the Presbyterian Church. At age 13 I won the chance to be a radio announcer for a day, and developed a great love of broadcasting! After high school, I trained as a journalist and then as a radio announcer and went into a long career in broadcasting. At age 20, I had a powerful encounter with God and developed a passion for ministry. I worked part-time as a Youth Pastor, and then with Lis and a team of friends, planted Grace Vineyard Church. We have four kids, a dog, and two cats ...

Sarah-Jane & John Peez
Executive Pastor, Campus Pastors
John and I have similar testimonies! We have both followed Jesus all our lives, with a short wee blip in our late teens/early 20s! After separate, radical encounters with the Holy Spirit, everything changed! We met each other (despite coming from opposite sides of the world), got married, had 3 beautiful kids, John set up his own business in construction and I found my way into full time ministry! Favourite things (apart from our family!) include our friends, laughing, the beach and our little dog! We love to drag our kids tramping around Aotearoa (they’ll thank us one day ...

Clark & Michelle Alcock

Born and raised in Auckland, I surrendered my life to Jesus at the age of 19 before entering full-time ministry in 2001. Since 2009 I’ve overseen various ministries at Grace Vineyard including the School of Leadership and Theology, and local and overseas missions. With Michelle and our four fantastic children, Emma, Nathan, Olivia, and Sam we are currently pastoring our Beach Campus in New Brighton.

Scottie & Leanne Young
Campus Pastors
I was born and raised in Christchurch with a close extended family. At 16 years of age, I was invited to a church youth group by a friend of mine, a few months later I had a radical turn around when I encountered the love of Jesus. I still thank God that He intervened in my life all those years ago. I enjoy a wide range of interests and sports but nothing beats knowing God and living for him. I met my Leanne (Flossy) at an Easter camp at 16 years of age where we struck up a friendship and ...

Rocky Stocks
I'm married to Alexis, the most beautiful woman on the planet and mother to our four incredible kids. We were married in 1999 and have had wild adventures thus far. Born in Zimbabwe, I dropped out of school at the age of 15 before deciding to follow Jesus but didn't make him a priority until my early 20s. I later trained in social work, beginning a 16-year career working in NGOs and for the Ministry of Education with "at-risk" adolescents, as well as being involved in youth ministry for over 20 years.
For several years we ...

Brendan & Amy Abernethy
Campus Pastors
Born in Dunedin but raised in Ashburton, I’m a local lad that has come home! During my teenage years, I discovered how much Jesus loved me, which changed my life. As I’ve walked with Jesus, He has taken me all around the world on crazy adventures, including living in the UK, Australia and now back in sunny NZ! A major high was marrying my beautiful wife Amy who I met in England, and adding our precious children Josiah and Lily to our family whilst in Australia. In 2017, God called us back to NZ, so we sold up and headed ...
