Neighbourhood Parties
Each year across our locations we run a completely free party for our neighbourhood. As a church we want to bless the communities that we are a part of and invite them into our spaces. Each location does something that fits their neighbourhood - Manukau host an “Aloha” party, Ellerslie decks out the indoor carpark with bouncy castles, food, pamper areas and ice creams, West head out to the park, Albany head to the beach with BBQ’s in tow. Whangarei too crank up the barbecue and host a bunch of games down at the park. It is a super fun initiative that builds and blesses those in our local communities.
The Christmas Hamper Project
For over 10 years, The Christmas Hamper Project has provided Hampers of Joy for many doing it tough due to health, hardship or struggle.
For many in our community, Christmas is a continued reminder of the daily struggle to put food on the table or pay the bills.
We hope the simple act of providing Christmas Hampers is a way to help strengthen and build families in our community, bringing hope and joy to those who need it most. Together we can help.
School Lunches
Each month a team gets together at church to pack over 400 lunches for children at 6 different schools across Auckland.
Many children go without lunch every day, so it's great that we're able to contribute to the solution. The teachers and social workers tell us it makes such a difference to the learning and growth of the children.
OPEN HEAVEN
Open Heaven is a prayer initiative for the collective church.
Open Heaven was pioneered by seven churches in Auckland that have a heart to see God move collectively. For this first time in 2021, Open Heaven is also extending its reach to Christchurch and Wellington for a night of unified prayer and worship. At such a critical time in history, it is essential we see God’s direction, blessing and wisdom, and to lift high the cross so that all may be unified and effective. This is not about a single local church, but about strengthening each other as the Church.
