Our Waimea Anglican Parish's Vision
Our vision is to be A God loving community empowered to love and serve others
We endeavour to do this by providing a range of opportunities to learn and exercise discipleship as individuals and as a church community. This is facilitated by providing a range of worship styles through to different small groups to provide both strong personal growth and a nurturing Christian community. Alongside this we seek to intentionally interact with the wider community. MISSION STATEMENT Coming together in the worship of God to receive God’s love as a community, to pray, to learn and to share the love of God. 5 core VALUES • Prayer: Communicating with God • Bible Knowledge: Teaching and learning about the scriptures in a way, which is well thought out and relevant to our lives • Worship: Attributing worth to God and being Christ centred and empowered by the Holy Spirit. • Community: Caring for the needs of others (pastoral care) while journeying together in faith. • Sharing: Actively sharing the good news about Christ in word and deed WorshipYou will find the services incorporate a variety of worship styles.

St Michael's on Waimea West in the country |
St Paul's Brightwater
Sunday 10:00am
This service is a Contemporary style with the best of modern music and a children’s programme that runs concurrently. So if you are 99 or only 1 year old we have something that we believe will appeal and encourage you. The service always finishes with a good cup of plunger coffee or tea. |
