About Us
One Mission – to Reach Out and Welcome In

About us
We are a Church and Community Centre with one Mission:
Reach Out and Welcome In – no strings attached


We are a Presbyterian Church: 
We are the St Heliers Presbyterian Church and Community Centre.
We value our history and traditions but are not burdened by either. It helps us name who we are among the vast variety of Christian churches.
Presbyterians came here from Scotland to find freedom of religion in the early 1800’s. They were free thinkers, passionate about transforming society; believed in education and equal opportunity for all. Their commitment to Christ and the church was the centre of their lives and they chose to live out this commitment by regular and devout worship and serving their community.

Who We Are:
The Presbyterian Church of St Heliers has been here since 1917

We are a growing church in outlook; in the way we think about our mission and we are growing in numbers.
 
We believe the word of God is the basis and guide for our living. We expect and encourage our people to read their Bibles.  Preaching from the word of God is the central facet of our worship.  We believe Jesus Christ is God’s son; the very flesh of God who came to show us what God is like.
We encourage people to learn, to study, to get involved and to serve. We want everyone to find joy in what they do.  We believe that Love is the key to everything and that Jesus is the source of all of it. We believe that Jesus’ love and his life are our example. We seek to be Jesus’ followers, trusting always in the grace of God that is God’s gift to us, not something we can earn.  There are people at St Heliers who have been here for 80 years and there are lots who have just arrived. Many of the people in the church were not born in New Zealand but still they are valuable contributors to the life and energy of what happens.
We have a commitment to caring about the community and seek to impact the society in which we live – engaging with those who need help; all races all stages and walks of life. We seek to live out a commitment to excellence – giving our best to our work, our school, our families, our community, simply because God gave us the best in Jesus.
The community of the church provides the sustenance and encouragement to live in this way.
