About John Mason

In 2001 Redeemer Church called John Mason, an Anglican minister from Sydney, Australia, to establish new ministries in lower Manhattan. John and his wife, Judy, were living three blocks from the World Trade Center on the morning the two towers were struck. Christ Church New York City has grown from an initial gospel response to that cataclysmic event.

John has over 30 years' ministry experience. He established what has become a major church in Canberra (Australia's capital city), and was for some sixteen years the Rector of one of Sydney's leading churches. He has taught New Testament theology in seminary and has spoken in churches in England, the United States, and South East Asia. John and Judy have four adult children and two grandchildren.

Christ Church NYC Testimony

In response to the strategy of reaching more people with God’s transforming news a number of people have accepted the challenge of being part of a new church. Hyun and Anne Sim, and their baby daughter, Emmanuelle, have recently joined Christ Church. Hyun comments:

"I always considered myself a quintessential church member. The thought of joining a new church was far from my mind. However, God had other ideas! Challenged by the gospel vision of being involved in a new church my wife and I connected with Christ Church NYC this past fall.

"I was initially apprehensive at the prospect of leaving the all-too familiar anonymity that comes with any large church. At a smaller church, would my every flaw become obvious to the entire congregation? Was I spiritually ready for the greater responsibility and sacrifice that committing to a new church demands?

"An integral component of a 'gospel' vision consists of re-vitalizing and establishing churches throughout the New York metro area. As with any new church, we need more people who share a similar vision and passion to get involved. Under John's ministry you will be enriched and refreshed by God's Word.

"With this vision of church-planting there comes a time when one must be ready to move on from the home church to further God's greater glory. You too may want to ask yourself before God whether it's time for you to embrace the risk, danger and excitement inherent in Christianity. It's a new year full of gospel opportunity in a new church..."
