Forgive as Jesus Forgave | 6th Sept 2026

Kia ora, and welcome to church!

At the core of God lies a relationship between three persons - Father, Son, and Spirit - and being made in His image means that relationships are an important part of being human too. But how can we ensure that we foster the relationships we need to flourish, and help others to do the same? This is precisely what we will be exploring in this series: Jesus and Relationships.

This week we explore forgiveness, discovering that the key to forgiving others is remembering the King who first forgave us.

Kia ora, and welcome to church!

But how can we ensure that we foster the relationships we need to flourish, and help others to do the same? This is precisely what we will be exploring in this series: Jesus and Relationships.

This week we'll explore how sacrificial love leads to sacrificial service, and why service is the way to greatness.

Love as Jesus Loved | 23rd August 2026

Kia ora, and welcome to church!

At the core of God lies a relationship between three persons - Father, Son, and Spirit - and being made in His image means that relationships are an important part of being human too. But how can we ensure that we foster the relationships we need to flourish, and help others to do the same? This is precisely what we will be exploring in this series: Jesus and Relationships.

This week we begin with love: what it is, and so what it means to love as Jesus loved.

Finding Contentment | 9th August 2026

Kia ora, and welcome to church!

This Sunday, we're continuing our 11-week series exploring the Ten Words (aka the Ten Commandments). Through this series, we'll explore what it means to allow these words to form us and how they keep us in the freedom that God has brought us into.

This week, Annedien explores the final commandment in Exodus 20:17. Together, we’ll consider what it means to “do not covet,” and how this surprising command points us towards the pursuit of happiness, contentment, and where true fulfilment is ultimately found.

Trust and Truthfulness | 19th July 2026

Kia ora, and welcome to church!

This Sunday, we're continuing our 11-week series exploring the Ten Words (aka the Ten Commandments). Through this series, we'll explore what it means to allow these words to form us and how they keep us in the freedom that God has brought us into.

This week, Ps. Cam explores the 9th word found in Exodus 20:16. Through this verse, we'll see how God creates a space where his people can practice truthfulness, not only for the sake of justice, but so they can also be formed by those same practices of truthfulness and trust.
