Paul and Maree de Jong are the Senior Pastors of LIFE, a church they pioneered back in October 1991. Since then it has grown to become one of New Zealand's largest churches with people from all ages, nationalities and walks of life.

The mission statement of LIFE is: "To impact and change our generation with the reality of Jesus." With a heart for the wider body of Christ, Paul & Maree are committed to developing church leadership and influencing others to reach their full potential across the denominational spectrum.

Both Paul and Maree believe that the local Church is the hope of the world and a place where we all learn to do life in a real, honest and God-centred environment. For more about Paul de Jong check out www.pauldejongnz.com
