Join Bishop Steve and Rev Matt to GO THE DISTANCE

GO THE DISTANCE with Bishop Steve and Rev Matt to support Bishopdale to train Christian leaders.

Nelson / Tasman

Join with us to support Bishopdale’s important work in our communities.

For over 160 years BTC has been faithful to Bishop Suter’s original vision of training Christian leaders in character and theory - in their own setting.

Over that time hundreds have studied at BTC and gone on to help lead our churches and parishes.

On May 9 Bishop Steve and Reverend Matt Watts will run the South Island Ultra 100km as part of our 2026 campaign to raise funds for BTC.

Our goal is to raise $20,000 - the first stage towards raising our annual target of $120,000 for BTC and growing its support base.

Give a little now to sponsor Steve and Matt - and support the amazing and vital work of Bishopdale.

About us

Bishopdale College is a community of study and training, with a vision for deepening faith and increasing obedience to God’s call. We train leaders locally in character and theology to serve local churches and their communities.

Use of funds

Funds raised will support Bishopdale's ongoing training of Christian leaders.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
