Waitakere Salvation Army A family where everyone belongs; who are encountering and growing in Jesus Christ together. Its message is based on the Bible. Thats right! An old shoe factory.

The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part of the universal Christian Church. Its ministry is motivated by love for God. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and meet human needs in his name without discrimination. The Waitakere Central Corps also known as Faith Factory is based in West Auckland, Waitakere in an once upon a time, shoe factory. Our Sunday Worship services are catered for all families, big or small. We meet every Sunday at 10am-12pm on 7 View Road, Henderson. Since then, our community has grown with a mix of vocations, cultures, generations, families and more. We aim to make everyone who comes in welcome. There are many support services available to the community here at the Faith Factory such as;

Community Ministry, who are involved with the community and its 'rough sleepers' otherwise known as the homeless. As well as, Peoples pantry, Tea & toys, Kids matter to us (ECE), Budgeting services, Low interest loans, pastoral care, prayer meetings, and a variety of ministry events. Foodbank hours : 9.15 - 12.00, 12.30 - 3.15 Mon to Fri. Please phone 098374471 to make an appointment. There is also a local family store, in Henderson 3a trading Place and Glen Eden 273b West Coast Road

Hundreds of car enthusiasts rolled into Kumeū Showgrounds on Sunday for another Cars and Cans event, bringing food donations for our foodbanks.

Hosted by Rotationals, the event featured an impressive range of vehicles and plenty of good vibes.
'Some incredibly high-quality cars came out today, which were a pleasure to see in person.'

It was a great example of how a shared passion can support people and whānau in the community.

Our whānau fun night was a real hit on Wednesday. These generational gatherings truly strengthen our community. It was beautiful to hear a newcomer say it felt like being with whānau — exactly what we hope for when we come together. And a big shout‑out to our hospitality team… those pulled‑pork buns were delicious.😋

Another awesome Celebration Sunday together as we continued our Armor of God series, focusing this week on the Sword of the Spirit — God’s Word.We kicked things off with a fun sword drill (Bible verse competition!), and Tala shared a beautiful testimony about how God’s Word shapes her everyday decisions.We also looked closely at Jesus in the wilderness and how He used scripture to stand firm and defeat the enemy.We wrapped up with shared kai and great fellowship — such a meaningful time together as a church whānau.

We love having Rātā Educare onsite — the laughter and fun each day is such a blessing. Our outdoor play area has just had an upgrade, and the new matting has made a huge difference for our tamariki.
Rātā Educare is a wonderful place of learning. Recently we had a Hato Hone St John educator visit to teach our tamariki what to do in an emergency, and they absolutely loved it.We’re so appreciative of the organisations who partner with us and help create these amazing learning opportunities.

Manaakitanga is at the heart of who we are. We love creating spaces where relationships grow, hospitality is shared, and connections are strengthened. This month we gathered for our Connect Group, a chance for our community to build friendships, have fun, and enjoy kai together. Our staff also came together for kōrero and kai, strengthening our relationships and enjoying time with one another. And yes — we even had a healthy indoor bowls competition. A team that plays together, stays together.🤝

Last week was crazy busy in a good way! 😀
We celebrated Te Wiki o te Reo Māori Language Week, welcomed a film crew onsite to shoot scenes for the TSA Christmas advert, and hosted our second Mission Partner hui with Salvation Army teams who serve across our Waitākere community. And to top it off, OneSight provided free eye tests and glasses — over 100 people from our community were seen and supported.👓
What a week of learning, collaboration, creativity, and care for our people. Feeling grateful for every team involved and every whānau we were able to serve.

We continued our Armor of God series with Ree’s powerful testimony and Mark’s message on the Helmet of Salvation.We also celebrated the men in our church whānau with a fun Men’s Triathlon — cake decorating, axe throwing, and origami towel crabs. The competition was fierce and the laughs were plenty.We love worshipping and celebrating together as a church family.
