Hi, haere mai, 환영, bem-vindo, selamat datang, ulufali mai, welkom, bienvenido…however, you say it you are ‘welcome’ here.
The Wakatipu Presbyterians are one Church that encompasses congregations based in Queenstown (Manna & Global), Frankton (St Margaret’s), Arrowtown (St John’s) and Kingston/Garston. We are a Church of the nations for the nations.
Thus we are able to offer a variety of church services in Queenstown and surrounding areas (see the panel on this page for times). Wherever you are we are close by. We are congregations of the Southern Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand (PCANZ), and members of the Synod of Otago and Southland.
Worship
Most Sundays worship services are held at each location, however, occasionally we will combine at one of our locations or elsewhere. We are a warm and diverse community, a church of the nations for the nations, with members from all parts of New Zealand and overseas. It is a delight to listen to conversations held in Portuguese, Korean, Mandarin, Indonesian, Tuvaluan, Spanish, Tongan and English. Thankfully laughter and the Spirit of God transcend language!
We look forward to meeting you; join us in worship at Queenstown, Arrowtown, Frankton, or Kingston. Alternately join us at one of the other activities that are available every week!
God is doing great things in our region. We thank God for the opportunity to support our neighbours, and visitors to the region and for rich partnerships locally and in Vanuatu and Nepal. We are excited to be part of God’s Mission. Come get involved and join us in declaring the glory of God.
