A Church for the community

St Paul Cooperating Church has proudly served the Papamoa community for an impressive 37 years. Our mission is to serve others selflessly and bring hope to those in need. Driven by our deep love for God and all people, we strive to create a welcoming and warm space where everyone can come together to connect with the Savior and experience spiritual growth.

Whatā€™s on?

  • We joyfully come together to share in the Lordā€™s meal every first Sunday of the month during our morning Worship service. This special time is open to everyone, and all are warmly welcomed at His table. We thoughtfully use grape juice and fresh bread, ensuring that a gluten-free option is available for those who need it.

  • Every last Sunday of the month, we focus on helping our community. Throughout the year, we support various organizations with a special offering during our Mission Sunday service. We invite everyone to bring a plate to share a meal together. The purpose of Mission Sunday is to deepen our relationship with God, each other, and those outside our church.

  • We gather every Thursday morning at 10 am in the comfortable lounge to engage in prayer and study the teachings of the Bible. We warmly invite you to join us in listening, reflecting, and sharing your thoughts on God's word as we come together in fellowship.

Meet the Potgieterā€™s

The Rev. Philipp, along with his wife Monique, their daughter Carli, and their son Philipp (jr), officially joined our community in January of 2022. Philipp has dedicated nine remarkable years to his ministry, and he and Monique have built a strong partnership over their 13 joyful years of marriage. Originally hailing from South Africa, they have seamlessly integrated into our church life and have truly become like family to all of us. Together, they find joy in the great outdoors, often riding bikes and embarking on hiking adventures that take them through beautiful landscapes. Monique has a passion for jogging and is also a talented teacher of hoop dancing. Meanwhile, Philipp enjoys exciting activities such as kayaking, rock climbing, and cycling. For them, family holds the utmost importance in their lives, and they fully embrace the joys of living each day to the fullest. We warmly encourage everyone to say hello when you visit our church; they would love to meet you!
