4 months agoWe've been attending Te Kainga C3 Church for almost 6 years now and we love it. Tessa and Tama lead with such humility, vulnerability, and love, and that heart flows through the whole church. There's a real sense of authenticity, warmth, and community here. We're so grateful to be part of it!

11 months agoI was invited to Te Kainga C3 Church by a good friend. I was nervous at first because faith is new to me, and I'd been to another church where I felt really out of place. But I felt right at home immediately! Tessa and Tamati are genuinely warm people with a heart for Jesus, and the church is making a really positive impact in the community. I love the eclectic mix of people who go there and appreciate that it's a smaller church as for me personally, God feels closer in that environment. There's a strong sense of community and lots of opportunities to serve and grow in faith. My husband and I attend a Connect group, we both serve on Sundays and attend a Christian-based business mentoring group. I highly recommend this awesome church!!

11 months agoSix years ago I walked into Te Kāinga and it was the best decision of my life, for myself and my family. I hadn't been to church before and felt so welcome and at peace, it felt like I had come home. The pastors are down to earth and real and the preaching and worship are phenomenal. This is the place to find solid biblical teachings and a great community for adults and kids alike. No matter where you come from, you will be welcomed with open arms.

11 months agoWow, what a great environment!! I find the people there to be very warm and welcoming. I am always greeted with a smile and warm, genuine conversation every time I show up at the door on a Sunday morning 🌄 It is definitely a great church to check out if you are wanting something family orientated and where the people are welcoming.
