“So the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Jozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of the whole remnant of the people. They came and began to work on the house of the Lord Almighty, their God."
— Haggai 1:14-15

There’s a stirring in the air — can you feel it? After a season of preparation, planning, waiting and refining, the moment has finally come. We’ve walked through the fire and worked tirelessly to strengthen the foundation of our church. We wrestled with direction, sought clarity, and laid the groundwork. The time to wait has passed.

Now in 2025, we declare: It’s Time to Build.

God is the Great Architect. We are His builders, the co-labourers. We are building His church. God uses each of us according to His purpose.

In the time of Haggai, the Spirit of the Lord stirred up the entirety of the people. Together they used the skills they had to see the house of God be built again. This is our time to come together in unity and build for the generations to come. Every gift given, every hour volunteered, every prayer lifted — all contributes to building God’s design.

Together, we are shaping the future. We are building something tangible and powerful. A church that is thriving. A place of hope. A community of faith. A place of belonging.

We have a foundation. A vision. A dream. A blueprint. A goal. A purpose. We’re building more than just a structure. We’re building a legacy for the Kingdom of God in New Zealand.

Grab your tools. Let’s construct something extraordinary with God and for God.

The Offering '25 Presentation

WHAT IS ‘THE OFFERING’?

The Offering is an annual, faith-filled opportunity for our church to give above and beyond our regular tithes; united in heart and vision to accelerate the mission God has placed before us. This year’s Offering is focused on resourcing community initiatives, new building projects, and increasing the reach and strength of our locations. We believe that as a church, it’s time to build – the time is now! The offering will empower us to continue to take steps of faith to see our church enlarge, and God’s Kingdom increase.

WHY ‘THE OFFERING’?

What we sow now creates the future we’ll one day stand in. We want to see: Greater community impact — resourcing initiatives that bring hope, help, and healing to people in need. Strategic facility expansion — creating spaces where people encounter God, find belonging, and grow in faith. Palmerston North is our key focus for this year! Empowering our locations — equipping teams and infrastructure so we can reach more people, more effectively. This is about advancing God’s kingdom through obedience and generosity.
