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.
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.
