First Church's main Sunday Worship events:

At 10 am we hold a service in English. This is a more traditional Presbyterian service.

At 11.30 the service is conducted mostly in Cook Island Maori.

At 2pm the Service is in Samoan.

At 5pm on most Sundays the service in a more contemporary and informal event led by the First Church Band.

You are more than welcome to attend any service. Maybe you would like to come along just to 'see what happens'.

All the services with the exception of the 5pm event are followed by a 'cup of tea'. Sometimes this means literally tea or coffee and a biscuit but at other times in means a large traditional Pacific Island feast complete with Taro, raw fish salad and other pacific specialities.
