Worship Times & Locations
Sundays in Sumner, 1030am
Our 10:30am service is relaxed, welcoming, and designed with families in mind. We gather each Sunday at the Sumner School Hall to worship together, hear from Scripture, and celebrate Communion. Children and youth are an important part of our church whānau and so, during the service, we offer age-appropriate programmes for tamariki aged 3+. These are fun, faith-filled spaces where kids can learn about God, build friendships, and grow. There's also a creche and an area for mothers of babies to breastfeed with privacy while still being able to be involved in the service.
See our "Kids on Sundays" and "Kids & Families" sections for more info about our children's ministry at SumRed Church.
Sundays in Sumner, 7pm
Substance is our evening gathering for young adults, young professionals, and students held at Nayland St Chapel. The aim of Substance is to spend time in worship before going deep into scripture, topical issues, and substantive matters of faith. The night follows a rough format of: worship, teaching, small group discussion, prayer and worship ministry.
Sundays in Redcliffs, 9am
This is a relaxed, yet traditional, Anglican Prayer Book communion service held each Sunday at St Andrew’s Redcliffs followed by morning tea in the hall. There is currently no children's ministry available at this service, however there is a creche area for little ones.
Midweek in Redcliffs
Our midweek communion service is traditional in nature and includes hymns and a simply homily. Held Wednesdays 10am at St Andrew’s Redcliffs followed by morning tea, this is a service catering for those for whom attending on Sunday mornings is difficult. There is currently no children's ministry available at this service, however there is a creche area for little ones.
Edith Cavell Services
On the third Thursday of each month at 11am a traditional communion service is held at Edith Cavell Rest Home in Sumner. This service includes hymns, a short homily, and chats afterwards. Home communion visits are available as and when requested.
Special Services
Throughout the year we host a variety of special services including a Thy Kingdom Come Beacon Event, Christmas services and other seasonal events. Our Christmas Eve services are particularly noteworthy with the band often being joined by members of the Sumner Silver Band both at the afternoon carols at Cave Rock and in the evening at Nayland St Chapel.
