We are an all age, friendly, inclusive church that embraces a range of local community activities and offers a regular cycle of varied worship every month. We emphasise acceptance instead of doctrinal purity, and diversity rather than uniformity . We have no spiritual test to come in, no intellectual position to which one must agree, with our people holding a wide variety of views of social issues. Our family-friendly services are held on the first and third Sundays of the month, with a quiet service on the second Sunday and communion service on the fourth Sunday. ( Children are very welcome to attend but be aware these are more traditional services.) Our Cafe Church on the third Sunday is particularly popular with all ages, with a shared breakfast/morning tea at 9.30am followed by the service at 10am. All other services are at 10am, followed by a cuppa at 11am. If you would like to try out a small, friendly church where you can be part of a caring community then come along to one of our services, or contact us on kids@staidansnorthcote.org.nz (Andrea, community liaison) or contact@staidansnorthcote.org.nz (Alf Taylor, minister).
