The LinkNZ journey started as a young couple, Fraser and Dale Hardy, leading a church and realising very quickly they needed help to do this well! It was this that led them to connect with significant leaders outside of their sphere. These people, over many years, helped to build, equip and inspire Fraser and Dale.

 

An understanding grew, that this approach was essential framework for the way they wanted to build into their future journey. As a result, people who wanted to build with them and their team, in an interdependent way, joined with them as friends to form the LinkNZ family of churches.

 

A deep love for this land, Aotearoa NZ, and a prophetic mandate to see the next generation of leaders arise, saw them gathering, travelling and equipping the church. Authentic relationship, Spirit life and mission became synonymous signposts with this.

 

Over time they found themselves being asked to sit with leaders and their teams. As the number of churches were added LinkNZ as a charitable entity was formed.
