more about us

 

The Gisborne Uniting Church is located right in the centre of Gisborne and has facilities used by many of the community. We have about 40-45 people attending each Sunday for Worship and a friendly cuppa after. Quite a few groups meet socially and for study during the week or weekends ..

Gisborne Uniting Church offers a range of worship, service, educational and social activities to which you are warmly invited. If you are interested in any of these, or think the church could be of help to you, please do not hesitate to contact one of the people mentioned.

 

Our Worship Services are lead by Ministers on 2nd and 4th Sunday and by lay preachers on other  Sundays.  

Communion is held on  4th Sunday monthly by an Ordained Minister.

 

We are a part of the universal Body of Christ, ecunemical in outlook, committed to the proclamation of the Word of God, and witnessing to God’s redeeming love to our community.
