The appointment of Joel is endorsed by Senior Leadership and we are excited to have him on board.

Joel is the guy to be in touch with for any room bookings at Hania Street either in the Worship Centre or Life Centre.

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.

As a church, we’re seeing God move powerfully in drawing people to himself. The cry of our heart is to see everyone in the eastern suburbs have the opportunity to respond to the message of Jesus. We’re praying that God would embolden our sharing of Jesus and enable people to believe. With this in mind, we’ve been working with other churches and have set the goal to together pray around every street in the eastern suburbs before Easter 2025—that’s just three weeks away.

The way we’re measuring this is through an app called Holy Ground. It’s easy to download and get started. We’d love for you to join in with this. Just imagine the impact if every one of us here and across the other churches took just one hour each week to prayer walk somewhere new. You could do it while walking the dog or by repurposing your walk with a Christian friend.

If this is new for you or you’d like some tips on how to do this well, you can grab a flier at services over the next three Sundays. Phil Coates at Gateway put it together. It’s got ideas on things to pray for and verses to declare as you pray and walk.

So download the app and hit “start a walk” and go and pray!

At The Street we have a team of dedicated staff members who support our Locations in many different roles.

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

If you are engaged or plan to be soon, just a little reminder we have a free pre-marriage course with Biblically based content, practical advice and online video teaching to help prepare you for this time of transition
