PASTORS — MARK & NIKITA
Mark and Nikita are the pastors of Aspire Church in Nelson, New Zealand. They are passionate about helping people know Jesus, experience His grace, and live empowered by the Holy Spirit in everyday life.
Their heart is to build a church that feels like family — a place where people can belong, grow, and encounter God in a real and personal way. They value authenticity, simplicity, and creating an environment where people from all walks of life feel welcome.
Mark brings a practical, grace-centered approach to teaching, helping people understand who they are in Christ and how to live that out daily. Nikita carries a strong heart for people, connection, and creating a culture of warmth, care, and encouragement.
