WHAT WE BELIEVE

Picture
FIRST and FOREMOST we are a community of love - we aspire to be in loving relationship with all people beginning with those who are members of the local Church community. There is no limit to the love we seek to express because we believe there is no limit on God's love for each of us.

THE CHURCH

The Church is the body of which Christ is the head and all baptised persons are members, believing that God is one and yet revealed as Father, Son and Holy Spirit ‑ a Holy Trinity, and
(a)        lives to be the agent and sign of the Kingdom of God.
(b)        is called to offer worship and service to God in the power of the Holy Spirit and
(c)        as the community of faith, provides for all God’s people, the turangawaewae, the  common ground;

​The church is:
ONE because it is one body, under one head, Jesus Christ,
HOLY because the Holy Spirit dwells in its members and guides it in mission,
CATHOLIC because it seeks to proclaim the whole faith to all people to the end of time and
APOSTOLIC because it presents the faith of the apostles and is sent to carry Christ’s mission to all the world;

OUR MISSION
  • proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ,
  • teaching, baptising and nurturing believers within eucharistic communities of faith,
  • responding to human needs by loving service and
  • seeking to transform unjust structures of society, caring for God’s creation, and   establishing the values of the Kingdom
  • striving to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth

OUR BELIEFS ARE BASED ON:
Holy Scripture (from the Bible)  and as explained in:
  • The Book of Common Prayer 1662
  • Te Rawiri - The Book of Common Prayer translation of the 1662 BCP into Māori is commonly called Te Rawiri ("the David"), as the Māori tend to look for words to be attributed to a person of authority.
  • ​A New Zealand Prayer Book – He Karakia Mihinare o Aotearoa.​
