Our Team

Meet the Anglican Missions staff

We’re a small team making a big impact.

Anglican Missions represents the Anglican Church in Aotearoa New Zealand and Polynesia. Our work spans the world and so does our team.

Our NZ based work is done from the Anglican House, a renovated heritage building in the heart of Wellington’s Central Business District. Our Fiji based operations happen from the Moana Anglican Services & Teaching building in Suva.

Our Staff

Michael Hartfield

National Director

michael@anglicanmissions.org.nz

Michael has led Anglican Missions since January 2020. While in a previous life Michael was a town planner, he has worked in the overseas development and humanitarian sector for a number of years – five years for the Council for International Development (CID) and nine years at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT).

Michael is ambitious for Anglican Missions and the role it is playing in the world, and loves his job as it enables him to live out his faith. Michael was ordained by the Anglican Church in 2020.

Outside work, he is likely to be with his family; in their wonderful garden; listening to music in his (in)famous basement; at St Hilda’s Anglican Church in Island Bay (Wellington); or generally getting into all that Wellington has to offer.
