Sports Chaplaincy New Zealand currently has more teams and clubs wanting chaplains, than the number of chaplains they are able to provide.

If you love God, care about people, and can roll with the triumphs, trials and tragedies of sport, then you may have what it takes to be a sports chaplain.

They are seeking volunteers who can commit 4-6 hours per week. They supply training, accreditation and support to place you in a local sports community as a sports chaplain.

Are you wanting to deepen your faith or prepare for ministry? 

Or do you sense a call to inspire young people as a primary or secondary school teacher?  

Would you like to serve others through healing hearts, minds, and relationships as a counsellor? 

Maybe study is your next step!

Join us on May 27th to explore your study options at our Open Night Online. Whether you’re interested in theology, biblical studies, mission, ministry, teaching, or counselling, we’ll have staff available to talk with you and answer any questions you may have.

Laidlaw College has been training men and women to renew their communities in the light of the Gospel for over 100 years. We’d love to talk with you about how study could equip you to outwork God’s call on your life.

We are fast heading into the day of Pentecost, and we’re excited to be joining nearly a hundred churches across New Zealand in the Pentecost Prayer Initiative.

Thousands of people will be going to prayer rooms and other prayer gatherings to seek God over these 10 days. Let's be asking God to revive His church and to rewire our culture so the lost will be reached and His kingdom advanced.

Let's pray the ancient prayer, “Your kingdom come, Your will be done, here in Aotearoa New Zealand as it is in heaven”

We'd love to see your photos and videos of your prayer gatherings over this time, and also to hear the stories of what God does as we set aside this time to seek him. Please email us your photos, videos and stories to office@thestreet.org.nz

If you're posting to social media, the team at 24/7 prayer would love you to use the hashtag #247prayernz or tag them in your posts @247prayernz.

There is also a daily devotional for the 10 days that 24/7 prayer have produced, which you can check out here

The month of May looks a little different for Kids Zone this year. We started with a special time with one another at Together. The teaching focussed on the story of Jesus feeding over 5000 people with just a little boys lunch! The teaching video is a lot of fun! Our children were reminded they can already play a part in what God is doing.

The 12th of May is Mother’s Day, where the focus is on the impact mothers and other special women play in helping us become total followers of Jesus Christ.

For the last two weeks of May, we finish our series learning important Bible reading skills.

We look forward to gathering with the other locations at Wellington College this morning.We hope to see everyone there! Please note there is no gathering at St Pat’s this week.

We are at a decisive moment as a nation, a time when the agreement by which tangata whenua and tangata tiriti live together is being called into question. As a church community, we can grow in our understanding and engagement in this conversation along with our brothers and sisters among churches within Wellington.

If you are interested in learning more about The Treaty of Waitangi and the role of the church in understanding how the Treaty is he tatau pounamu—a covenant pathway of reconciliation - Karuwhā and Venn Foundation are hosting a series of public lectures with Dr. Alistair Reese, a well-respected theologian and historian. In Wellington this is taking place on the 14th of May, and you can register via the venn.org.nz website.

Life Groups are such an important aspect of discipleship because our growth happens in intentional relationships and over time. If you are not already part of a Life Group, we would love to help you connect with a group from the Mt Vic Location. Click the button below and someone will be in touch.

I’m Laurence, and look forward to partnering with several churches and organisations as a student counsellor in 2024. I am privileged to be studying for my Bachelor of Counselling at Bethlehem Tertiary Institute and I am in my third and final year of my degree course. I am offering 100 hours of free confidential counselling during 2024 and will be providing the service at Brandon Street Practice in Wellington’s CBD.

The last few years have certainly been more than a challenge for us within our churches and communities. There has rarely been such financial and mental pressure on all of us and a sense of division within our society here in Aotearoa and worldwide. There used to be a time when seeking some sort of therapy carried some stigma; however, it is now so commonplace that especially our youth and young adults are (generally) very comfortable with discussing this openly. Although Romans 12 tells us to renew our minds, there are times when we need help to stop conforming to the patterns of this world. My degree course is Biblically based, and I look forward to meeting those who want that extra support.

Kia ora,

My name is Sheree Fletcher and I am a trainee counsellor in my third and final year of study with Bethlehem Tertiary Institute. This year I will be on placement with Grant Conway of Te Waipuna Counselling and have connected with The Street Church to offer free counselling at their premises in Hania Street from May onwards (within certain criteria). I offer an empathetic, non-judgemental and collaborative space to explore your experiences. 

Prior to studying counselling, I worked in administrative roles in a variety of workplaces. I am a mother of three daughters and have travelled and lived overseas. When I am not studying or counselling, I like to take our dog on walks by the river, catch up with friends and sew. I look forward to connecting with you.

We serve an almighty and all-powerful God and the tool he has given us to engage with him, is prayer. We want to be a church with a deep culture of prayer, seeing God do extraordinary things in and through us

In Acts, the disciples gathered together constantly in prayer for 10 days after the ascension of Jesus, culminating in Pentecost—the birth of the church. Their cry was a simple one “Come Holy Spirit.” We are going to be joining with the wider church of Aotearoa to do the same in the lead-up to Pentecost this year.

WHEN: 9th to 19th May. For more info check out the video here.

For a number of years, many people from different church traditions and movements have been planning for a new Christian College in Wellington.

If you are interested in Christian Education in Wellington, especially in the establishment of a Christian College, the Board of Trustees invites you to hear an update and pray with them.

Angela Drake, one of our East members is looking for somewhere for herself and her golden retriever, Gus to live from May/June to September this year. Either a short term rental or a house sitting situation would be ideal. If you know of something that might be suitable could you please get in touch with Jenny by emailing her at jenny.gill@thestreet.org.nz, and she can connect you with Angela.

How do we interact with and love our neighbour when we hold differing values? How do we raise children to be confident in who God has made them to be?

Join Richard Black for a seminar titled: 'Cultivating a discipleship mindset to raise the next generation in a diverse world'

If you come from a traditional Christian perspective, the changes in our society around gender diversity and sexuality can be confusing and confronting. This seminar will look at how Christians can be confident in their faith while maintaining an openness to others who hold different perspectives and values.

Date: Saturday 22nd June Time: 9am - 3:30pm
Venue: The Street Church, 9 Hania St, Mt Victoria
Tickets: $20 per person

All people are welcome so invite your friends, neighbours, colleagues and family members.

Together will be a significant moment as all six of our Locations gather in one place on Sunday 5th May at Wellington College.
We are praying that this would be a moment of powerful encounter with the Lord as we worship Him together as one church.

The time to register is TODAY - to ensure we have a seat for everyone and to plan accordingly for Kids Zone.
