Welcome to Holy Trinity Christian Greek Orthodox Church of Auckland. Holy Trinity serves a large and diverse group of Orthodox Christians. Based in Western Springs Auckland it also serves Orthodox Christians in the wider area from Raglan to Rotorua, Thames to Tauranga and everywhere in between. The Church was established by the true Faith, hard work and generosity of Orthodox Migrants to New Zeala
nd from Greece and Cyprus, who, when they arrived in Aotearoa New Zealand identified the Faith as what defined them and what was Critical in maintaining a connection to the Motherland. Holy Trinity Parishioners now come from a diverse whakapapa of course Greeks and Cypriots, but now also Maori, Kiwi, Samoan, Ethiopians, Romanians, Egyptians, Phillipino, Indonesians, Lebanese, Ukrainian, Russian, Chinese and many other ethnic backgrounds, all woven together and unified around the Orthodox Christian Faith. "Orthodoxy is what Christ taught, the Apostles preached, and the Fathers kept" St Athanasius the Great. Divine Liturgy is served by Father Amphilochios Vasiltsotelis in Greek and English, keeping us connected to the Roots of our Faith, whilst making the Faith approachable and allowing the Church to blossom here in Aotearoa New Zealand. We often receive new enquirers into the Orthodox Faith "Catechumens" and offer Saturday evening Catechism meetings after the Vespers. We also work in the Apostolic Mission field in the Pacific specifically in Fiji, Tonga and Samoa. Here over the last 15 years the Holy Metropolis of New Zealand has established St Tabitha's Orphanage, The Monastery of the Dormition of the Theotokos, many Churches and Parishes.
