Whānau
We want to grow our children and families to have a faith that they embody and live out, revealing God’s heart and grace to those in the local kindy, school, shops, neighbourhood, and wherever they find themselves. As the church, we intentionally build connections with children and families in the local community. As an intergenerational whānau “we welcome children, emerging adults, recovering addicts, single adults, widows, single parents, teens whose parents are not around, the elderly, those in crisis, empty nesters and struggling parents of young children into a safe but challenging place to be formed into the image of Christ.” We welcome in the last, least, and lost, and offer the grace and acceptance we ourselves have been given.
