Knowing God, shaping communities

I'm New
How can we be of assistance to you as you seek to discover how faith in God can be an integral part of your life.
Connect With Us
Through regular attendance at Sunday Worship, we are able to connect with each other and discover what is to be a member of Christ ‘s Church.
Join a Group
As we develop as a congregation, groups may be formed, and from this, we may be able to serve the community together in tangible ways.
Weddings
There are three ways in which you may wish to consecrate your wedding at St Thomas’ Church. The first is being a member of the congregation or a family member of a member of the congregation. The Chaplain will be available to conduct the wedding as the Marriage Celebrant. This comes with a spiritual aspect as it will be a Christian wedding. The second is by hiring the services of the Chaplain, and the third is by using your own Christian celebrant.
Room Rentals
The Church will be available to use for religious studies, prayer meetings, Christian living meetings etc. The lounge could be used for committee meetings, counselling, and other such activities.
Waikopua Cemetery
The Waikopua Cemetery is available for residents of Whitford, Beachlands and Maraetai and their families only.

Sermon August 23, 2026: God Is at Work in the Hidden Places
There are times when God’s work is easy to miss. We look for thunder, but God begins with a whisper. We look for power in public places, but God begins in hidden rooms, beside rivers, in the courage of ordinary people, and in the quiet faithfulness of those who choose...
