You’re welcome on Sundays!
Regular services starting on the 12th of April At the Kelvin Grove Community Hall on Kaimanawa Street
-
Before our service, we share a free meal together. It’s a relaxed space to connect, meet people, and ease into the evening.
Whether you come on your own or with others, you’re always welcome at the table.
-
Each week we gather as a church to create space for both the familiar and the unfamiliar - a place where you can feel at home, while also being invited into something deeper.
In our gatherings you’ll find:
Stories of what God is doing in people’s lives
Teaching from the Bible that’s clear and relevant
Moments to encounter God personally
Worship as a response, not just a routine
Space to connect with others
Whether you’re exploring faith or have followed Jesus for years, there’s room for you here.

Who is the grove?
The Grove is a local church shaped around a simple idea:
We exist for the good of the neighbourhood.
We keep church life simple so there’s space for what matters most; real relationships, everyday faith, and following Jesus over time.
Here’s what that looks like:
Found in Jesus
A place to explore faith, encounter God, and discover the life Jesus offers
Formed in Community
We grow through genuine relationships - around tables, in groups, and in everyday life
Sent for Others
We want to be a church that looks outward - loving, serving, and connecting in our neighbourhood
Simple Rhythms
Sundays, one midweek gathering, and space to live out faith beyond church programmes.
Whether you’re new to faith or have followed Jesus for years, there’s space for you here.
A Place For You
We know that walking into something new can feel daunting, especially if church hasn’t always felt like a safe or welcoming place. That’s why from day one, we want this community to be different.
No matter your age or stage of life, there’s room for you here. Whether you’re raising little kids, studying, working long hours, retired, or figuring life out one step at a time — this is a space where you can belong.
You don’t need to have it all together or fit a certain mould to come. Jesus meets us right where we are — and then shows us a better way. Following Him is a journey of transformation, and none of us are finished yet. What matters is that everyone is welcome to start that journey, and everyone will be received with love and grace when they show up.
