At Gisborne Presbyterian Parish we aspire to be:-

An inclusive church – a safe place for any person to come and be.
A discovering church – finding out through worship, study and prayer who God is.
A challenging church – enabling people to explore their own faith with integrity.
An ecumenical church where Christians of all traditions can share their heritage.
A church where care for those in need and each other flourishes.
A church seeking to give a Christian shape/perspective to social, economic and political affairs.

 

A church which welcomes and nurtures all people.
An encouraging church – helping people to acknowledge and use their gifts.
A church centred on worship and relating the Gospel to today's world.
A church where all who give their allegiance may share in decision-making and action.
A church whose hospitality and facilities are offered the wider community.
A church responsive to the signs of the Spirit.

Press release - Gisborne Presbyterian Parish (St Andrews and Matawhero Churches) have gone through a discernment process and as a result will be looking to close the parish on 30 June 2026. 

This is a big decision and made with great reluctance but with a realistic assessment of the ability to maintain the structure of the congregation.  In the coming months the parish will consider what will happen with the church buildings at Matawhero and in the city - we are open to community input on how the future midght protect the taonga of our past.
