CHRIST SANCTUARY PALMERSTON NORTH CHURCH
Welcome!
Where to find us
Christ Sanctuary meets every Sunday at 50 Queen Street, in the black building next to the UCOL Carpark. There is plenty of free parking in the area.
What can I expect?
Our worship service combines a number of parts. We begin with a reading of the Bible as a call to worship. We take time to confess our wrongdoing and receive the assurance of God's forgiveness. We then worship God through song, prayer, and the reading and preaching of the Bible. Each week we pray for our financial offerings, and for the needs of our world, and the growth of the church throughout our nation and the world.
Each week we take the Lord's Supper (or Communion) together. Christ Sanctuary welcomes all baptised Christians who actively trust in Jesus Christ for salvation to receive the Lord’s Supper with us. Our time of worship ends with a benediction from the Bible, which declares that God's grace rests on all who are in Christ Jesus.
What about the kids?
Most weeks during the school term we have Kid's Church. This goes for the duration of the sermon. For more information see our 'Get Involved' page.
We also have a ‘Kids Spot’ during the main service, usually based on the Bible story being taught in the Kids Church classes.
We recognise that children do make some noise, and so we encourage patience and charity towards parents and children, as we are a church not a library! We have a creche for parents to take their little ones who aren't able to sit through the whole service. There are activity and colouring packs available especially to help children stay through the service.
Who can come?
Absolutely anyone! Because Jesus in his kindness has welcomed us, we want to extend that welcome to others. The news of Jesus is offered to every person, regardless of culture, background, or stage of life.
What next?
Every 3 months we run an event for newcomers, over a Sunday lunch. It's a chance to hear more about what makes us tick, ask questions, and consider what it might mean to join our church community. After you've attended for a while, this might be a great step for you!
