our work
LifeNET is a New Zealand Christian organisation dedicated to planting and nurturing the seeds of leadership, virtue and ethical concern and promoting human flourishing through goodness, truth, and beauty.
Our primary work is education and formation, and we offer impacting and engaging presentations at conferences, schools and churches on worldview issues, bioethics, and more. We also offer special training events, personal mentoring, sessions tailored specifically for retreat days at Christian schools, as well as a monthly podcast and other online content and resources.
