A Church for the community
St Paul cooperating Church has been part of the community for 37 years. We believe that we are called by Christ to serve others and to be a beacon of hope in the Papamoa community. Our love for God and for others compels us to keep on reaching out and making a difference in the lives of others, by creating a welcoming and lovingly warm place for people to meet the Saviour.
What’s on?
-
We share in the Lord’s meal every first Sunday of the month during our morning Worship service. All are welcome at His table. We use grape juice and bread (gluten-free option is available).
-
Every Thursday we gather for a whole lot of fun! At 10:00 we start by sharing a cuppa and a snack. After our cuppa, we play card and board games, crochet, knit, and chat. There is so much to do! You will never be bored when you come to the Friendship group on a Thursday. Come join us in the hall for a good time and make a friend or two.
-
Every last Sunday of the month we dedicate our whole service to reaching out to our community. Throughout the year we support numerous organizations by taking up a special offering during our Mission Sunday service. We also encourage all to bring a plate as we share a meal during the service. The aim of our Mission Sunday is to grow closer to God, to others outside our church family, and to one another.
