About us - our flavour

We are a congregation of the Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand. We have recently called a new minister, Rev Robin Palmer, who has been a Chaplain at a Presbyterian School in Wellington for the past five years. Robin has specialised in working with young people but also has a wealth of pastoral experience leading congregations. He is an enthusiastic communicator, and also has specialist counselling training and expertise.

Our Presbyterian heritage means we value team leadership, caring for each other and our community, and thoughtful, relevant Bible-based teaching. We are a dynamic church bringing the unchanging message of Jesus to a changing society. Our church family comprises people of all ages and various cultures, who gladly encourage one another in the Christian faith.

What to expect at a Sunday service

There is no dress code at our services. People lead in prayer, we sing songs of worship, and look at a passage from the Bible and how it applies to us. The 10.30 am service music is the more contempory and the 9.00 am service has more of a mix of older and newer songs and hymns.

What else happens?

The church has many other groups and community building activities that people from our church and community enjoy.

So why not check out Browns Bay Presbyterian? We would love to have you visit us.
