2 years agoBooked accomodation in April 2022 (and paid deposit) for Jan 2023. Then in August 2022 they cancelled, saying they’d decided not to rent accommodation during summer, leaving our cricket team with no other options and boys missing out on the tournament. It would have been easy for them to make the change after honouring existing bookings, but they chose not to. Not recommended.

10 months agoNot a very attractive church. Doesn't have any feeling or nice vibes. Has large parking area which is great

4 years agoWow, loved being here for Cricket camp. Very lovely people helped us have such an amazing time and really made us feel welcome. Really showed the spirit of God in their abundance of generosity and kindness to us. Thank you so much

2 years agoGood solid Bible teaching, very welcoming folk. Matthew the pastor is a man after God's heart, and it is a pleasure to sit under his exposition.

2 years agoA loving church community. My wife and I often visit and worship at this church when we are in the Hawke's Bay. The people are friendly and the teaching is Bible-based and evangelical afterwards people chat and enjoy cups of tea and coffee. If you are looking for a church to visit or a place to belong, I cannot recommend this fellowship to you more strongly! There are also some other great options nearby including Hastings Baptist and Heretaunga Community Church so check those out as well.
