New to Church?

00 Welcome Welcome! Whether you've just moved to the area, or have lived here all your life, we hope our website helps you to find out everything you want to know about our Church.
 

Some key information about the church...

 

When & where does the church meet?

You can see a map on our contact us page.

Our Church meets every Sunday for our Sunday Service. Most Sundays we meet at two different sites - one in Porirua (at 10.00am) and another in Kāpiti (at 4.00pm) - and we come together approximately once a month in Porirua. 
Aim to arrive at your site location 10 minutes early to ensure you get a seat in time for the service to start. There is plenty of parking at Aotea College, so you won't struggle to find a carpark or have to walk very far.

We meet at:
Porirua Kāpiti
Aotea College (Te Manawa)
Okowai Road
Porirua 5024
Ocean Road Community Centre
45 Ocean Road
Paraparaumu Beach
 

What should I expect when I visit the church?

You will receive a very warm welcome particularly from our Welcome Team who will be able to answer your questions and direct you to where you need to go. The meeting will last approximately an hour and a half; there will be some singing, teaching from the bible and opportunities for prayer.

Tea, coffee and biscuits are served after the service where there is plenty of time to meet new people and ask more questions.
 

What happens with the kids at church?

We have a fantastic programme for the kids at the Church for ages 2–12. Children stay with their parents at the start of the service as we worship together for the first part of the morning. Someone will announce when the children are going to their programme, and you will need to go with your children and register them.

For more information about what happens in the children's work please visit the relevant age groups for you under church life.
 

Is there a dress code?

No. Please just be yourself and come dressed in your 'normal' clothes.
 

Will I have to join in?

Not at all. You are free to observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.
 

I have more questions, how can I get in touch and ask them?

Please feel free to contact us. If you want to know who works in the church office, check out our Staff and Leadership page.
