The lectionary for Year A offers us many stories of Jesus encountering people who are seeking: Nicodemus comes to him in the veil of night, he approaches a Samaritan woman at a well, he heals a man born without sight. In these stories, each person is seeking a new beginning, a different life, a deeper faith. What unfolds is an exchange filled with questions and exploration. Often, an unveiling occurs—assumptions are disrupted, a new perspective is revealed, mystery grows.

This Lent, we invite you to engage in the spiritual practice of seeking. We encourage you to stay curious, open, and nimble. We hope you will soften your assumptions and expand your perspectives. We pray that these questions will create a safe space to explore—to be drawn more deeply into the fullness of life, into the heart of God.

Join us for Lent, each Sunday at 10.

HCPC will be hosting a community fair this March. As neighbours enjoying both the sun and the rain here in Aotearoa, we want to get to know you and allow you to get to know who we are.

Saturday, March 25 will be the day … more info will follow asap.

Following Jesus

With simple words our Lord Jesus called his disciples. His words were: “Follow Me”, and for us discipleship starts by answering this call. Our worship services, home groups, prayer meetings, Children’s ministry, and pastoral care, are all part of how we intentionally follow Jesus.

Embracing Community

We firmly believe that the call to follow Jesus is not a call that distances us from the communities we are part of, but rather a call to embrace these communities with the love of God. We want to share life with the people living in the Hibiscus Coast and that is why we have an Op-Shop, why we support the Food Bank, why our building is used by many community groups throughout the week, why we are embracing the Orewa Beach School and why we keep our ears tuned to the rhythm of life here on the coast.

Creating a home

Church buildings can be daunting, confronting places. We want everyone to feel welcome and appreciated at our facilities and for this reason hospitality is a deeply rooted value in our parish. We host regular morning teas, shared lunches, and an open door for anyone to drop-in.
