Jeff Whitaker is is a Baptist pastor living in Auckland. He is presently the Chairperson of the ACSD Executive. Married to Margaret (a teacher), they have three adult children. Jeff undertook the SGM Training Programme in 1998/99, and subsequently joined ACSD. Since then Jeff has continued to offer spiritual direction and supervision to a clientele that has included ministers, counsellors, and SGM trainees. Interested in Christian spirituality, at various times Jeff has lectured on this subject at both Laidlaw College (Christchurch Branch) and Carey Baptist College. In the more recent past Jeff has offered periodic 'Retreats in Daily Life' together with Auckland director Jeannie Martin-Blaker.
