About Us

Hope Presbyterian is one church that meets in four locations throughout the South-West of Christchurch, New Zealand. We aim to be a church that is local to each community that we are located in, providing space for people to grow and express themselves and their faith in their own unique way. We invite you to connect with us and with our communities and to get involved in the life of the church.

We want to be agents of change in our communities and so we provide many opportunities for the church and community to intersect. Our goal is to help people along their journey with God and there are many ways we look to facilitate this. We want to be good stewards of what God has entrusted us with.

If you are new and would like to know more about us and what we believe, you will find all the information you need on this website. If you still have a burning question, please come visit us on a Sunday morning, email us, or pick up the phone and give us a call on 980 2296.
