While both ministers are seen in all three churches of the Parish, Robyn's primary focus is with the Red Beach congregation and Andrew's is with the Manly congregation. Our Parish Office Administrator is Wanja Senekal.

My passions are fishing, family and the local church, although not necessarily in that order. I am married to author Caroline Bindon and with our two student children we love living on the Whangaparaoa Peninsula. We also have two older married children and four grandchildren.

I am an Accredited Baptist minister in Full Connexion with the Methodist Church. My ministry background is in church planting, pastoral leadership and theological education and I am presently employed by Whangaparaoa Methodist Parish and Kereru Publishing.

My varied ministry opportunities have involved me in being an on-air radio host, visiting field projects in Outer Mongolia with World Vision International, staying in a Hutterite Community and visiting European Reformation heritage sites with a group of Schwenckfelders.
