Clint took up his role as Director of Laidlaw’s Centre for Church Leadership (CfCL) in 2022. He is responsible for developing and fulfilling the strategic direction of CfCL to bless, love, and serve the Church of Aotearoa. This involves leading the CfCL team to develop coaching programmes, resources, workshops, and consultancy services. As a passionate advocate for the health of church leaders and the churches they serve, Clint appreciates networking with leaders of local churches, church networks, and denominations, with a responsive awareness to the wider ecosystem of the church in Aotearoa New Zealand.
