Hi, I’m John Schoneveld, the minister at Waiareka-Weston Presbyterian Church. I’m married to Jan, and we have two daughters, Johanna and Catriona. In my spare time I’m into photography, reading, movies, outdoor adventure and playing with Lego with my girls!
We’ve been at Weston since June 2016 and are loving this community, and especially our supportive, active church. Our own church background has helped us to be appreciative of a breadth of different Christian perspectives and traditions. Weston Church is a great match for us, as this church-family are a diverse bunch, united in the love of Jesus! You’ll notice that the sign outside the building says Weston Community Church, and that’s what we are, a Church for everyone, sharing God’s love in Christ.

My name is Sylvia Grasmueck, I am married with two daughters. I have enjoyed working at the Church Office in Weston for about 12 years. My role is to support the minister and other staff in administration of church matters. This is a varied job and being at the hub of activity at times, I love meeting people and assisting them in many ways.
Hi, my name is Karo Wilson, and I am the Children and Youth Pastor at Weston. I grew up in Weston, attending Weston Church and Youth Group during my teenage years. After a few years away from the area, I returned to Weston in 2009, helping to lead the youth group, before moving to Gore in 2015 to undertake the role of Youth Worker at Calvin Community Church. I have now returned to my roots, and am excited to be part of the ministry team here at Weston. I am looking forward to developing meaningful relationships with young people and their families, and seeing our youth and children encounter God in a personal way.
In my spare time, I can be found relaxing in the sun with a good book or crossword puzzle, studying towards a Bachelor of Theology (its a work in progress!) and spending time with family and friends.
