Nau mai, haere mai — welcome
You are welcome here
Whoever you are, whatever you bring — come as you are. We gather each Sunday at 10am for inter-generational worship, and pray together every day of the week.
Catch up with St John’s
An ordinary parish, trusting an extraordinary God
An ordinary parish in the heart of Trentham, trusting an extraordinary God — worshipping, praying and serving Upper Hutt since 1862.
We pray the New Zealand Prayer Book, we share food and life, and we try to love our neighbours in concrete ways — through food rescue, refugee support and housing. There is a place here for you.
