Anglican church

A charming old wooden Anglican church dating in part from 1865. The previous church building (1855) also served as the local school. It was extended by local architect Edward Bartley, and he also designed the present enlarged church. The parish has been an important place in the community now for over 150 years. It is great that the doors are open to the public, so you can wander through the building and admire the soaring ceiling, wooden walls and exposed beam ceiling, and stained glass windows. There are plaques inside to various parishioners and servants of the church, adding to the sense of history. For anyone interested in Auckland history, this is one church not to miss.

The Renwick Menz Shed is on the site we are open Tuesday's 8am -12noon new members are welcome.

The church was warm. People were welcoming and naturally friendly.The organ was playing on this day which was lovely to hear. Microphone sound was good for those with hearing loss. I noticed a large play area for young children in one corner, with books and junior bibles too.

A great little hall, and very good parking for at least 25 cars.

St Peters church in Waipawa is quite large for the size of the town. It was also somewhat difficult to track down. St Peters is about as close as you'll get to a classic English village church in New Zealand with it's massive stained glass windows at the front with a sizeable bell tower and spire perched on top. The thing that sets St Peters apart from its many brother and sister churches in small town New Zealand from a similar time, is that it's not clad in wood.

Nice decent sized church. There's a community centre nearby as well.

Nice multipurpose hall on site

Great Community Church with a real heart for the people of Naenae. The people are friendly and passionate about local missions and ministries.

It has 2 services, we prefer to go to the 10 am one as you get up at ease after a late night, being the weekend. Then it's more musical and keeps everyone in a jovial mood. God Bless You. GJ

Not sure how this review popped up, I must have parked close to it, but I'm sure it's a lovely place if that's your thing, not mine but each to their own.
