Ask about room hire in one of our buildings. We have two locations: 97 Onewa Road in Northcote and 172 Hinemoa Street in Birkenhead.
We have worship/auditorium spaces that seat 100+, small rooms, lounges/hall space and well-equipped kitchens. People use our flexible spaces for workshops, meetings, focus groups, children’s programmes, support groups, community activities and social functions. Need a piano or organ? They are in place! (Extra charges apply for the use of musical instruments and audio-visual systems.)
Please book ahead of time. Our office is staffed part-time and so we might take a couple of days to answer your query.
