About Us

Finding Inspiration in Every Turn

We are a living body of people who seek to serve our geographical community through the love of God in Jesus Christ.  

We are a diverse group of people who are young at heart.  

Our weekly pewsheet rightly names that all of the congregation are ministers, by virtue of their Baptism.  

Our congregations are however led by the ordained members of the team and the Vestry committee.

Our Story

Our team is a diverse group of people with different backgrounds and places of origin.  From Pharmacist to Teacher to Accountant to University Lecturer, to Shop Assistant and all callings in between we recognise that we are brought together to further God's mission.  

Father John and Revd. Sue came to answer God's call to New Zealand in 2019 and are immersing themselves in a culture so different from their own in their native Wales.  

Needless to say with a diverse group of people from different origin points whether recently or less recently, Rugby match days are interesting in this parish.

ABOUT US

A Church dedicated to Saint Luke has stood on the site since 1874- it met its challenges then, as it seeks to meet the challenges of the present day.  In gratitude for the past we walk backwards into the future - learning the lessons of the past.
