10am Sundays

We gather every week on Sunday morning for a service of worship followed by fellowship together over morning tea. Come as you are. No need to dress up. Our services have an informal feel with a simple, dignified flow, consisting of prayer, singing together hymns and psalms, and reflection of scripture. The music is a mix of traditional, contemporary, contemplative, and homegrown. Services last about an hour.

Scripture guides our worship and our life together, cultivating our imagination of God's coming kingdom and helping us to follow the way of Jesus. We seek to be biblically faithful as well as open and inquisitive as the Spirit speaks to us ever anew.

We celebrate Holy Communion four times a year on the second Sunday of March, June, September, and December.

Children and families

We are an intergenerational community, welcoming children and families. That means children are allowed to be themselves, to make noise, to explore and be inquisitive! Typically, the service will involve a special address to tamariki as well as activities that relate directly to the scriptures for the week.

Online worship

All our services of worship are streamed online. You can watch them live or browse past services on our livestream facebook page.

Baptism and dedication

We offer "infant" baptism as well as "believer's" baptism. We can also provide infant dedication. Because baptism and dedication are about welcoming a child into the body of Christ, the family of the church, it is a public act that takes place in a regular service of worship. If you are interested in having your child baptised or dedicated, please contact our minister, Jordan, at minister@sthelierscentre.org.nz
