Auckland Church Network

Auckland Church Network Auckland Church Network is a network of churches working to bring flourishing to Tāmaki Makaurau. We’re not a church, nor a denomination.

Auckland Church Network is a city-wide network of churches working together to bring flourishing to Tāmaki Makaurau. We’re an organic, dynamic movement, in which all Bible-believing churches can participate. We believe many working together are stronger than many working alone. By developing unity amongst Auckland churches, and building partnerships with like-minded organisations, we will amplify our combined efforts to help our city and her people flourish.

Last month we farewelled Dale Campbell, who was a core part of our team for three years. Dale's levels of kindness, generosity & warmth are incredible. He is a humble man who loves God, loves the Church in all it's aspects, and genuinely loves people. Dale led many initiatives over his three years, including the Auckland Prayer Breakfast content, the Auckland Prayer Walk, our Lent devotional series The Daily, the combined food drives across the North Shore & West Auckland, and as a ministry supervisor. Dale is a brilliant connector amongst pastors & other Christian leaders, and a strong communicator. We are cheering him on in his new role at Visionwest and know he'll be a huge gift there. Kia ora Dale!

A massive thank you to everyone who donated to make this all happen, to all those involved on the day, and to everyone who prayed for this event.

Together, we were able to joyfully bring the gift of Christ back to our city this Christmas. And we couldn't have done it without you.

The Auckland Santa Parade was a great success!

The participants met at Elim Church in the morning to get into their costumes and have a final run through of the day, before we made our way up to Vincent Street, where the Nativity Float was stationed, ready to go!

The route took us all the way down Queen Street, past 150,000 people, the choir singing Joy to the World and other carols that spoke of the good news of Jesus.

We then gathered at Aotea Square for the After Party, and had a booth offering fun and games (thanks to Red Frogs NZ), books telling of the Christmas story (thanks to Bible Society and Shining Lights Trust), information about other upcoming Christmas events in communities around the city, and the opportunity to take a photo with Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus.

A massive thank you to everyone who donated to make this all happen, to all those who got involved on the day, and to everyone who prayed for this event.

Together, we were able to bring the gift of Christ back to Auckland City this Christmas.

Meri Kirihimete.

With the Santa Parade just under a week away, we're excited to get the last pieces together on the float!
