Board Update - 19 Jun '24
2024-06-19

Kia ora church,

We have been progressing well through the Review Advisory Committee (RAC) implementation process. We want to share our progress thus far and provide our broad roadmap setting our expectations going forward.

In April 2023 the Review Advisory Committee (RAC) concluded a wide-reaching review of Arise Church by providing a final recommendation report to the Arise Board. The report set out both structural and non-structural recommendations for Arise to address issues that were identified through their review process. This report was accepted by the Arise Board, and management has been tasked to see these recommendations implemented.

We are grateful to report that substantial progress has been made on these recommendations. The management team are providing great momentum towards seeing these recommendations implemented. This is a massive undertaking, and we feel privileged to join in this important work.

We have outlined each area of progress and our plan going forward. You can find a detailed progress report on the link below:

Progress Reviews:

An initial review meeting has been held with Arise staff who served on the RAC to report on progress, gauge whether RAC intentions are being met, and seek their input on our next steps. We are committed to ensuring that the review process continues as we implement the RAC recommendations.

Later in 2024, we intend to invite all current Arise members who served on the RAC, to sit with us and review the work completed. We will also seek their input on what is working well for us as a community, and where we need to continue to improve.

A further review session has also been scheduled for 2025.

We are incredibly thankful for the effort of the Arise staff who have put so much time and effort into the RAC implementation process. We are excited to continue moving forward as we work to see Arise Church operating vibrantly in all that God has for us.

As always, if you have any questions feel free to contact us at board@arisechurch.com.

Nga mihi nui, The Arise Board
