Big Day Out

Sunday 11 October

We're bringing all of our congregations together in one place for one day. We're one church, meeting in different places most weeks. Every so often, it matters that we actually see that — that we stand in one room together and remember what we're here for: to see lives transformed on our campus and in our city, through Jesus Christ, for the glory of God.

10 am–3 pm
Haere-roa, 90 Ilam Rd
No regular services this Sunday.

(There will be a cost to cover morning tea and lunch: more info to come)

Prayer and Praise Night

Wednesday 26 August

Our prayer and praise nights are all about gathering as one church to lift one voice to our heavenly Father. We pause our Growth Groups for a week to devote our time together to prayer and song.

Wednesday 26 August, 7.30–9 pm
Haere-roa, 90 Ilam Rd

City Men social: robot building

Saturday 29 August

Men, join us for the EPro8 challenge — teams work together to design and build robots for a series of hands-on challenges. You don't need to be an engineer — it's simply a good chance to build something with a few guys you might not know that well yet, and have a laugh in the process. Max. 28 participants.

Saturday 29 August, 9 am–12 pm
Middleton Grange School
$5 pp towards World Vision

RSVP via the City Church Essentials WhatsApp group or contact Kadin Wood

Men's Christian Convention

Wednesday 9 September

Come along and hear Gary Millar speak from Romans 12:1-2 on how to be Christian men in a complex world. Join Christian men from across the region for an encouraging evening of good Bible teaching, good songs and prayer. Come early for an optional seminar on what it means to be gentle, along with a fish & chips dinner from 5.15 pm.

Wednesday 9 September, 7–9.30 pm
Optional seminar: 5.15 pm
La Vida Centre, 34A Hansons Lane

Annual General Meeting

Sunday 18 October

Each year, we gather as a church family for our Annual General Meeting — a legal requirement under our trust rules, and a chance to see clearly how Cornerstone has stewarded God's resources over the past year.

At this year's AGM, we'll:

Vote on our Executive Team
Confirm the Board of Reference member up for renewal
Report on the year's finances and ministry stewardship

All members are warmly encouraged to attend, as we seek to lead responsibly and faithfully with what God has entrusted to us.

Sunday 18 October
11.45 am, Riccarton High School staff room

Weekly events & groups

Growth Groups

Our weekly Growth Groups are central to the way we walk alongside each other; we grow more like Christ, pray and care for one another, rooted in the Word of God.

Shared Meals

All of our congregations have regular opportunities to enjoy time together over food after their Sunday service. We communicate the details at church each week and through our WhatsApp congregational essential updates groups.
