From 2004 to 2008, Hunter was executive director of Alpha USA, the U.S.-based affiliate of the Alpha course , developed by Anglican vicar Nicky Gumbel in London. He also completed a D.Min. from George Fox Evangelical Seminary , and taught as an adjunct at Fuller Theological Seminary , Western Seminary , Vanguard University , Wheaton College , George Fox University , Azusa Pacific University , Tabor College , Biblical Seminary , and . In 2008, Hunter founded a church-planting initiative called Churches for the Sake of Others , seeking to "engag the post-modern, post-Christian culture and the unchurched and dechurched to Christ by going where they are." During his years with Alpha, Hunter was influenced by John R. W. Stott, J. I. Packer, and Sandy Millar to consider Anglicanism, and he launched C4SO as the West Coast church-planting initiative of the Anglican Mission in the Americas , then affiliated with the Anglican Church of Rwanda . As Hunter simultaneously planted churches in Costa Mesa, California, and Eagle, Idaho , he was also ordained as an Anglican deacon and priest in 2008 and 2009, respectively. In 2009, at the urging of AMiA chair Chuck Murphy and in recognition of his role as an overseer of churches in the West, Hunter was consecrated as a bishop in AMiA. Archbishop Emmanuel Kolini of Rwanda was the chief consecrator, and Rick Warren preached at the consecration service.Transition to ACNA In late 2011, Hunter was one of nine AMiA bishops to resign from the Rwandan House of Bishops after a controversy between Murphy and new Rwandan archbishop Onesphore Rwaje over AMiA oversight. In 2012, Hunter expressed regret over his actions, reporting "that he had asked for and had received forgiveness from... Rwaje for 'my part in actions, attitudes or communications that were hurtful to him or to my brother bishops in Rwanda.'" Hunter was then received into ACNA where he continued to support church planters by transitioning his church-planting initiative into the Diocese of C4SO, admitted as a full member diocese at ACNA's General Convention in June 2013. C4SO is a community of churches and leaders committed to nurturing existing congregations as well as planting new churches, and it often works in partnership with other diocesan jurisdictions to plant churches. Through all its endeavors, C4SO seeks to announce, embody and demonstrate the Kingdom of God . In 2016, Bishop Hunter started the , an initiative of the . The Telos Collective seeks to form leaders at the intersection of gospel and culture who will then lead churches in faithful and fruitful Gospel engagement with culture. The Telos Collective forms this group of leaders through an annual event—the Intersection Conference—blogs, podcasts, coaching and other resources. Bishop Hunter’s desire is to serve the whole province by equipping leaders to graciously, peacefully, and confidently engage 21st century culture for Christ.
