Our Leadership

 LOCALLY we are pastored by Rev David Farr.

David was born on a mission station in South Africa and grew up in a Christian home. Always active in ministry David felt the call to go full time whilst working as a Graphic Designer. David left that field to study at George Whitefield College in Muizenburg, South Africa and was ordained. After serving in two local churches for five years he decided to immigrate to New Zealand where he served at a local church in Inglewood for three years prior to coming to Grace Community Church, New Plymouth in April 2008.

He is married to Shelly and they have three children.
