About Arohanui Church
We aspire to live by faith, be known by love and be a voice of hope in the community.
Arohanui Church began as a Methodist Church about 50 years ago and is now an all-age congregation affiliated to Grace Fellowships network of Churches around New Zealand.
We are a community church with a number of outreach ministries focused on supporting international missions, local community, families and individuals.
As a church family, we celebrate Holy Communion together fortnightly. This includes the children, at their parents discretion.
Core Values
Through our Faith in God the Father, we are…
Grounded in the larger narrative of God as it is presented in the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments and affirmed by the Nicene Creed.
Humbled by the sovereign and good nature of our God and his care for and enjoyment of us (humanity).
Fearless in learning, listening, growing, taking risks, leading and discipling others, and speaking truth to our communities in the ever-changing global world.
Through our Hope in the Holy Spirit, we are called to…
Create. The Holy Spirit is over all, through all, and in all, so we passionately seek to reveal beauty in every area of life.
Pray. In prayer we seek and find the Holy Spirit’s power to change ourselves, others, and our world.
Generosity. The Holy Spirit creates an abundant world, and this is realized in our hearts and minds through the radical giving of time, treasure, and talents.
Through the Love of Jesus, we seek to…
Serve our community and advocate for the weak and the afflicted.
Collaborate with Jesus, our multicultural community, and all who are willing to see His kingdom come and His will be done.
Heal the broken, bruised, weary and heavy-laden physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally, including ourselves.
