WHO WE ARE

Grace Presbyterian Church is a committed member of the Grace Presbyterian Church of New Zealand (GPCNZ), a national Presbyterian Church that is reformed in theology and evangelical in spirit.

 Grace Presbyterian Church has been in Christchurch for 50 years. We started out as a small community of people meeting in Rowley Ave, Hoon Hay with a desire to honour and worship God, remain faithful to the Bible's truths and reach the local community for Christ. Over the last 50 years, God has been kind to us, remained faithful to us, has used us and has grown us, all by His grace.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

We adhere to the Westminster Confession of Faith as summarised below:

  • Firmly hold to the Bible as the rule of faith and life. (Hebrews 4:12-13)

  • Have a passion for God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) and a passion for people. (Matthew 22:37-39)

  • Desire to seek to bring glory to God and to be aware of where He is leading us through His Word and Holy Spirit. (Colossians 1:28-29)

  • Dedicated to proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ to those who are lost, both here in New Zealand and elsewhere. (Matthew 28:18-20)

  • Committed to the Reformed faith as the most consistent presentation and outworking of Biblical Christianity.

  • Live by the following from the Westminster Confession of Faith: What is the chief end of man?” - "Man's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy Him forever”. 

OUR VISION FOR CHRISTCHURCH

We long to see our friends, families, and community experience the joy that is found in God through Jesus.
