Kia ora! My name is Joel and I've been part of The Street Church for over five years now! I am part of the leadership team for our Night community as the Local Lead for Worship.
Growing up 'underneath the keyboard' (as my mother often reminds me) is a great representation of both my lifelong involvement in the church and with Jesus, but also a picture of my love of music. I grew up between Auckland and Whanganui, but moved to Wellington early in 2020 to study music for film at Te Herenga Waka, Victoria University. Five years later, I have finished my masters in the same subject, and continue to use my love for music and creativity in many facets of my life. I passionately love Jesus, my family (my parents, my twin brothers + wives and children, and my little sister), and my wider Street Church family.

Kids Zone begins a new series called Heroes of Faith. Each week we will look at the story of one well-known character in the Bible. Rather than focusing on the characters themselves, we will focus on what God is doing through that character.
Over May we will look at a character on the first and last week - with the two weeks in the middle focussing on Mother’s Day and a special time as we gather Together from all six Locations at Wellington College on the 18th.

Kids Zone Junior spend the first and last week looking at ‘I Can Love Others’ through the stories of The Wise King and The Good Samaritan. In the middle weeks they also focus on Mother’s Day and our gathering at Together. Kids Zone Junior uses The Beginner’s Bible.

Dakoda Raymond Earnest Schleif

12/10/2007 - 31/3/25

It is with much sadness that we share the passing of Kody Ray.

The Schleif family have been part of The Street Church for over 20 years. During the past decade, they have been unable to regularly attend Sunday services due to Kody's medical needs, but Ange has a deep connection with her Mosaic group and many, many families from across The Street Locations will have a connection with the family in some capacity.

Kody's fighting spirit and love for his family, which shined through till the end, will be sorely missed.

A funeral for Kody will be held from 11am at 9 Hania St on Thursday the 10th of April.

Anyone is welcome to join Ange, Shawn, Brooklyn, Paxton and their wider family and friends for this celebration of Kody's life and to say goodbye.

Kids Zone completes the Life of Jesus series looking at the following two aspects of who Jesu is. Jesus is our Saviour and Jesus is our risen, living Lord.

Kids Zone Junior spned two weeks looking at the Easter story through the following Bible stories. Jesus is Arrested and Crucified and Jesus is Risen!. Kids Zone Junior uses The Beginner’s Bible.

Both Kids Zone and Kids Zone Junior take a two week break for the school holidays.

We are one church that meets across multiple Locations and prioritise loving one another as we grow as disciple makers. God is at work in and through each Location and we take time each term to celebrate stories lift specific needs in prayer.

Ross Jones leaves the staff team on March 27th to enjoy a well earned retirement. He has been diligently working in the Property Manager role since 2018.

Ross has been an incredible asset to The Street in this role. He has fulfilled his job with high integrity and an evangelistic heart for everyone who comes through the properties. Ross has a wonderful sense of humour and will be missed by the team. We are very thankful for Ross and are pleased to be able to continue enjoying his and Sarah’s company as they attend East.

If you know Ross personally - you can send him an encouragement and a farewell message to ross.jones@thestreet.org.nz
