About Us
Our vision is that all who come will be welcomed and respected.
We gather for worship, fellowship, spiritual nurture and faith education for all ages. We have home groups and study groups for adults, Sunday School for children, Girls' Brigade in Kerikeri for girls and young women, and we support K-TOWN Shakers Youth Group in the Kaeo area.
Christ-centred and community-facing, our focus is on a practical Christianity.
We look at everyday life through the lens of scripture and work to transform ourselves and our society.
It is also part of our core business to care and respond to needs among us and in our wider community with friendship, spiritual support and practical help. We support the local food bank and church social services.
We work together with other churches in Kaeo and Kerikeri and relate postively to other faiths, particularly through the annual Week of Prayer for World Peace.
We respect the faith and tikanga of local hāpū, and value our Methodist links with Ngāti Uru of Whangaroa.
Kaeo-Kerikeri Union Parish serves two local communities - the Kaeo/Whangaroa area and the Kerikeri/Waimate North/Waipapa/Purerua area - and two church denominations - Methodist and Presbyterian. As a Union Parish we operate under the Guide to Procedures in Cooperative Ventures.
History
