Changepoint Church Tauranga

I was disturbed at the 8 minutes of babble at the beginning of the video of this morning’s service. I felt it very disrespectful of the solemnity of the day ,and the image of Jesus on the screen. However I was very pleased to hear Johnny point out the solemness of today at the beginning of his excellent message. Maybe you need to talk to the video team and cut out the conversations before the service, or tell folks to respect the day and talk outside or in the foyer.

First time visitor all the way from Sunny South Africa. What a blessing it was for me today to be part of the fellowship and worship here. Focus on Jesus and you guys can't go wrong! God bless.

The service was great, and the music was even better! I like the way communion is done, as you can approach the side tables at any time during the worship. The major downside for me was the fact that no one spoke to me, not even the welcome team (and I was one of the first to arrive). Once you are a part of this church and start to form some circles it'll be fine, but the church can easily make a better effort of making newcomers feel welcomed.

The Sunday worship service I went to consisted of lively congregational singing with a band & worship team, used a projector and contained visuals to illustrate the subject that was spoken about in the address/sermon. Friendly people who walk their faith. It was a joy to reconnect with folk I had not seen for years (as I no longer live in Tga).

Many thanks for your live screening of tonight's message by Mary Jo Sharp. We were unable to make it to the service so really appreciated being able to hear her. She brings a very thought provoking message. It was lovely to join in the worship too. May God bless you as you share His love and life with you community here in Tauranga.
