Welcome to our Church

The Parish of Pauatahanui

Kia ora tatou;

All our 12 congregations are ready for Back to Church Month in September, looking forward to welcoming again people who haven't been with us for a long time.  Because some of our congregations meet fortnightly or monthly, we are having a whole month of invitation and welcome to those who want to return to church to check us out or simply to experience worshipping with us again.  The rest of the Diocese will be focussing on 21 September - which for us will be a special day within our special month! Do join us.


As disciples of Christ, we seek to offer worship within the Anglican tradition that is varied in style, uplifting in content, and faithful to the context of the Anglican Church of Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia. Here at the bottom of the North Island of New Zealand, the northern part of Porirua City and part of Wellington Diocese, our parish is committed to being "church of choice, church with choice, church for community" as we share God's love with people around the Pauatahanui Inlet and beyond.


So we welcome you as you make contact with our parish though this website. As Vicar, I am glad that you are interested in what we are doing, and I hope you can find the information you need.   We would be delighted if you are able to join us for worship or any of our other activities - with diverse groups such as Woodchoppers, Prayers and Squares, and Breaking Open the Word.  You may be welcomed by me, or by one of our other clergy, or by any of the many people in this parish who know themselves to be ministers of the good news because of their baptism. We share in the joys and challenge of welcoming, ministering, and sharing in Christ's work of transforming the world in love. You can begin getting to know us through this website.


Keep the faith - but not just for yourself!
