Meet our dedicated team at the
Anglican Parish of Mount Maunganui.
Vicar - The Reverend Christine Scott
I was born in Hamilton and
am my late parents, Ken and Jean Scott, eldest child, I have three
siblings, Robert, Shona and Andrew. After living in a number
of communities my family moved to Taupo when I was eight. It
was here that I undertook most of my schooling.
I trained as a pharmacist at the New Zealand School of Pharmacy
in Upper Hutt. After graduating with a Diploma in Pharmacy I
moved to Napier where I lived and worked as a hospital pharmacist
in Hawke's Bay for twenty-two years. While living in Napier I
worshipped at Waiapu Cathedral where I was a member of the choir,
and other groups in the parish including the vestry.
I undertook ministry training at St John's College in Auckland
for three years. While at St John's College I completed a Bachelor
of Theology and a Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) unit. I
was ordained Deacon on 4 December 2005 and Priest on 6 October
2006. I was Curate at St Luke's Rotorua from December 2005
until the end of 2007.
I enjoy walking, Scottish Country Dancing, Pilates, photography,
reading, handcraft and listening to and making music. My
family includes Caspar, an elderly seal Burmese, and my moggies,
Bella, Gemma and Tom.
Before moving here I was the Vicar of the Parish of Otorohanga,
in the Diocese of Waikato and Taranaki from January 2008 until
September 2018, and Archdeacon of Waitomo from April 2015 until
September 2018.
I was installed as Vicar of the Parish of Mount Manganui on 26
September and am delighted to be part of the Mount Maunganui Parish
family.
