Our Story

Our mission, like every location of The Street is “Helping people become total followers of Jesus Christ.” We embrace a team approach to leadership and are led by location pastors, elders and a local leadership team. We believe the best way to outwork this mission is for these leaders, alongside everyone in the church, to play their part and use their gifts to make East a more vibrant and life-giving place.

Our church is not just a Sunday service, we are the family of God, whānau. We gather in small groups (we call them Life Groups) during the week, and for prayer meetings.

We also run a free meal for those in the community on Wednesday evenings that anyone and everyone is invited to. In short, we do life together.

By these rhythms (and more) we practice the love that Jesus has called us to have for one another. We believe we are called to love another, and the community we find ourselves in. We feel a conviction to be known for making a difference in our community, such that it would be noticed if we ceased to exist.

We believe that through this love, Jesus is made known to the people of our world who desperately need Him. We don’t want to settle for where we are now, so we are focussed on multiplying disciples, multiplying leaders, and multiplying churches. This multiplication mindset impacts every part of our church.

We’d love you to join us on this journey as God tells His story in the eastern suburbs and beyond!
