Welcome to our new staff members!

Recently we have had two wonderful people join our staff team. Anna Watson: Life Groups Pastor and Piper Clare: Associate Youth Pastor. We are very thankful for them both!

Hi, I’m Anna! I’m married to Matt and we have two boys. I was born and raised in the Hutt Valley and studied at Victoria University before I moved overseas with Youth With A Mission. I spent ten years with YWAM, serving in Colorado, Southern France and then most recently we were in Tauranga. We moved back to Wellington at the end of 2020 and since then I’ve been mum to our boys, have run a weekly community playgroup at Knox Church and also have my own family photography business. I’m really excited to now be a part of The Street team!

Kia Ora! My name is Piper and I am super excited to be starting as the new Associate Youth Pastor here at The Street. I have called this church home since 2016 so about 8.5 years now. I went to The Massive when I was in high school and have been a leader there for the last 3.5 years. I recently finished a 2 year qualification in youth work/development and am super passionate about young people. When I'm not at The Street, I also work at Scripture Union NZ as part of their youth team as the Wellington Youth Consultant. In that role I work with youth pastors, churches and youth leaders around the lower North Island to help equip, train and resource them. My parents/family attend the East location while I mostly attend the Night service on Sundays!
