Serving Our Community

In December 2020 Karori Anglican became the first Eco Church in Wellington, in partnership with A Rocha Aotearoa NZ.  A Rocha Aotearoa NZ is an international Christian conservation group, who have developed resources and workshops supporting churches, to actively care for God’s earth as an integral part of their mission for their communities.

House Churches & Small Group Discipleship

Growing together and thriving together is our goal and house churches or small discipleship groups are our main vehicle for doing this.  At Karori Anglican we encourage everyone to form (or join) house churches with others from our parish and in the local community.  At the moment, that means using online tools like phone trees, Zoom or other video calling platforms.  This gives us a space for both worship and going deeper together in discipleship with others.
