OUR TEAM

Rev James Coleman
James is a barrister and minister. He came to faith on the same alpha course in 2002. They are both passionate about Jesus and advancing the Kingdom of God.
James and Julia moved to St Mary's Silverstream in 2014 with their two sons, Jacob and Sam. It’s a different address but a familiar name for the couple, who were previously based at St Mary’s Anglican Church in Karori. Neither James nor Julia were religious before a series of medical emergencies in 2002 kicked off a conversation with God. After attending an Alpha Course, they gave their lives to God.

Julia stopped working as a lawyer in 2004 and was ordained as a priest in 2007. James, who continues to practise as a lawyer, was ordained in 2012.
The ministry of St Mary's is supported by some wonderful volunteers,  too many to list them all!
