Our church is a welcoming space where everyone can find support, inspiration, and belonging. Together, we walk in the way of Jesus, seeking to bring hope and transformation wherever God leads us.
Our vision is to serve our community with compassion, love unconditionally, and foster spiritual growth. Through dedicated service, heartfelt worship, and supportive fellowship, we strive to create a nurturing environment where individuals can deepen their faith, connect with others, and make a positive impact. Join us as we live out our commitment to serve, love, and grow together.
At Halswell Community Church, our mission is to live out the way of Jesus by sharing God’s love, nurturing spiritual growth, and serving others with compassion and purpose.
We are called to be a Christ-centred community that reflects God’s kingdom values of faith, hope, and love in everything we do — from worship and discipleship to outreach and everyday life.
Share God’s Love: Proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ through our words, actions, and relationships.
Foster Spiritual Growth: Encourage and equip people to deepen their faith and walk daily with Christ.
Serve Our Community: Respond to the needs of others through kindness, generosity, and service.
Build Authentic Relationships: Create a welcoming environment where everyone feels valued, supported, and connected.
Everything we do — from Sunday worship to community outreach — flows from our desire to see lives transformed by the love of Christ and strengthened by genuine fellowship.
Through Worship: We gather to honour God, grow in faith, and celebrate His presence in our lives.
Through Service: We extend compassion and care to our community, following Jesus’ example of humble service.
Through Fellowship: We build meaningful relationships that encourage and support one another in our faith journey.
Through Growth: We equip and disciple individuals to live courageously for Christ and share His love in everyday life.
We believe that faith is not only a belief — it’s a way of living.
Our approach is shaped by a commitment to be a church that serves with open hands, loves without limits, and grows together in grace and truth.
By living out our vision to serve, love, and grow, we aim to create a nurturing, Christ-centred community where everyone can belong, believe, and become all that God has called them to be.

I served in two churches in Kenya as a pastoral intern and trainee, and worked in Experiential Christian camps and learning institutes, In 2014 l moved to New Zealand to take up the role of youth pastor at St Augustine’s Anglican Church. I had an amazing five years there, leaving only to follow that initial call. Since moving to Christchurch I have completed a postGraduate Diploma in Theology from Laidlaw College, and married my wife Anna, My personal life vision is to inspire those around me to be the best they can, through real discipleship and relationship. I am passionate about creating leaders who are willing to disciple and be discipled as followers of Jesus while staying connected in community. I believe this is what the local church has been called to do.
