Our Sunday worship services use contemporary language from the Holy Eucharist Rite II liturgies from The Book of Common Prayer. On occasion, we also use liturgies from Enriching our Worship (supplemental texts approved by the National Church) and The New Zealand Prayer Book. Our lectionary textsfrom the Bible are taken from The Revised Common Lectionary.

Sundays

8:00 AM - Holy Eucharist. This is a smaller and more contemplative service without music. Average attendance is 25-35 people.

10:30 AM - Holy Eucharist. This is our larger service with Choir and Music. Average attendance is 100-150 people. This service usually has more children and youth at it.

On the first Sunday of every month, the Healing Rite is offered at both services for those who would like the laying on of hands and  a prayer for healing either for oneself or others.
