ABOUT US
Meet our Pastors
Pastor Erik Stolte
My name is Erik Stolte and I'm privileged to be one of the pastors of this church. I have been married to my wife Georgina for over 25 years. We have ten children, and are now entering the era of being grandparents.
I was raised in a farming family in the Wairarapa where I also later farmed. We then spent 3 years in the USA where I studied for pastoral ministry. After 11 years pastoring in the Reformed Church of Dunedin, I took up my charge in Pukekohe at the end of 2023.
One of the great privileges of my responsibility is to preach God's Word week after week, to help people see more of our Saviour, and to care for people on an individual level.
Pastor Jae Kim
My name is Jae Kim and I am one of the pastors of Pukekohe Reformed Church. I have been married to my wife, Jinny, for 5 years and we have two young children. I was born and raised in Auckland, and discovered the Reformed faith during university while studying Law and English. I worked for some time in criminal law before responding to the call to pastoral ministry that I had sensed for over 5 years. I received my theological training at Mid-America Reformed Seminary in the USA, spent a year as a vicar in the Reformed Church of Masterton, and came to Pukekohe at the end of 2024 to serve among this congregation.
It is my joy and privilege to be able to take part in bringing the gospel of Jesus Christ to bear on people’s lives, both through public preaching and private conversation. Please feel welcome to contact me or Pastor Erik if you would like to talk about the Christian faith or our church.
