Rachael Masterton
National Chaplain
Having been in Girls’ Brigade since the age of 6 I have learnt so much and been greatly enriched by leaders – old and new – and girls.
I have held all company positions and many of the Area positions and am currently Area Chaplain.
Although my paid employment is with Westpac NZ Limited, I hold voluntary positions in the Methodist Church of NZ – on the National Strategy committee, as Co-Synod Superintendent for Otago Southland, and as an accredited Lay Preacher.
I am also a Guide with Achilles NZ International – an organization that enables athletes with disabilities to participate in able-bodied events. While I was really proud of running my first marathon in 2016, I was just as proud when I guided Michael – an athlete who is blind – in his first 10km walking event in 2019.
I am a licensed Marriage Celebrant and a trained Funeral Celebrant.
I have a passion for helping others. I love ministering to people, getting alongside them, listening and praying with them.
1 Peter 4:10 “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”
