On July 4th, 1982, Pastors Peter and Bev Mortlock, with a strong call from God, pioneered what would become City Impact Church, then known as Bays Christian Fellowship.

They faithfully served as Senior Pastors for over 40 years, building by the grace of God a significant and influential church, seeing thousands come to know Jesus and expanding into multiple locations across New Zealand and internationally.

Today, as Founding Pastors, they continue to provide apostolic oversight while supporting the leadership of Ps Joe and Raquel Manase as the Church continues to grow and impact generations.
