Nau mai, haere mai. Welcome

Welcome to our website. We are a forward-thinking Presbyterian church in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. Community and inclusion matter to us.

Conversation. Exploration. Improvisation. Do those words appeal to you? We’d love to meet you and hear your story. Please get in touch.
