We are passionate about knowing God and sharing the love of Jesus in our community. We do this by sharing food, sharing our homes and serving the neighbourhood.

We gather each Sunday at 10 am at 68 Freyberg St, Lyall Bay (entrance behind St. Jude’s church). Services include both contemporary and traditional elements, with plenty of opportunities for tamariki to get involved.

On the first Sunday of the month, instead of our usual service, join us for a beach clean. Coffee & kai kicks off at 9 am @ Lyall Parade Playground.

We affirm the Nicene Creed and the Apostles Creed as the basics of Christian belief. We believe that Jesus was really the Son of God, that he died and physically rose again from the dead, and that this event has changed the universe and our lives forever.

Lyall Bay Community Church is a plant of Re-New Communities, a network of churches and ministries which exist to revive the local Church. Also in our network are Blueprint Church, Brooklyn Anglicans, and The Wellington Free Store. We are a Pioneer Mission Venture of the  Anglican Diocese of Wellington.

Our community is led by Rev. Jax Clark and a leadership team of lay people who live in the neighbourhood.
