The Community Church of Akaroa
Banks Peninsula
Knowing the Heart of God at the Heart of the Community
Welcome To The Community Church of Akaroa
Banks Peninsula
We are an inclusive church, formed as a joint venture between Anglicans and Presbyterians on Banks Peninsula. Our parish includes congregations in Akaroa, Pigeon Bay, Little Akaloa, and Le Bons Bay. We meet for worship each week in Akaroa, and over the summer months also in the Bays. We try to share God’s love with each other and with our local communities. Come and join us on a Sunday, or help with one of our community activities. Everyone is welcome. You will find all the details below.
Big changes are happening! Those of you with sharp eyes will have noticed that we are now the “Community Church” not the “Combined Church”. This change signals that we are now under joint Presbyterian and Anglican leadership, currently beginning with oversight from the Alpine Presbytery. To read more in our new church’s constitution, read on.
Along with the new name is a change to become an inter-denominational church, where Christians of all varieties can join in worshipping and working for God and seeking his Holy Spirit. We have always sought to be a valued part of the Akaroa and Peninsula community, and this will continue just the same. Our services are going to be more youth-focused, and we will continue to welcome families and children at Mainly Music, and in our Sunday worship.
We are now seeking a new Minister, who may not necessarily be an Anglican or Presbyterian. The process of selection is going well, and we hope to have an announcement soon. Watch this space!
