Lead Pastors
Kia ora, we’re so glad you’ve come to visit citywestchurch. Whether church is familiar ground for you or something completely new, you’re welcome here just as you are.
We’re a big-hearted, diverse family made up of all ages and walks of life—brought together by our shared love for Jesus and for people. Our heart is to see every person living with purpose and stepping into the unique calling God has for them. We’re passionate about equipping and encouraging you on that journey.
We believe that real life-change happens through following Jesus and genuine connection. Whether it’s a cuppa after the service, joining a Connect Group, finding a place to serve, or being part of a course—there are so many ways to get involved and find your people here. Life isn’t meant to be walked alone, let us journey together.
