What to Expect at The Avenue Village NZ

Sunday Worship Service

Sundays at 10:00 AM
English–Filipino Worship Service
1 English Street, Sockburn, Christchurch 8042
(Hall of Riccarton Primary School)

Every Sunday, we gather to worship God together through Scripture, prayer, and congregational singing. We sing a blend of Christian hymns and contemporary worship songs, seeking to glorify God with reverence and joy.

The preaching of God’s Word is given utmost importance. Our preaching is biblical and expository: we teach the Word of God book by book, allowing Scripture itself to set the agenda for the church. We believe that the faithful, sequential teaching of the whole counsel of God is God’s appointed means for building up His people in truth, holiness, and perseverance.

Children’s Sunday School

We offer Kids’ Sunday School, led by Teacher May, Teacher Lanie, and Teacher Kristine, which begins after congregational singing. This allows families to worship together before children go to their class for age-appropriate instruction rooted in God’s Word.

Prayer and Fellowship

Prayer is an essential part of our life together as a church. After the preaching, we spend time in fellowship and shared meals, reflecting our commitment to living as a church family that loves, serves, and encourages one another in Christ.

Dress Code

Dress is modest and casual. Our focus is not on outward appearance, but on worshipping Christ together with humility and sincerity.
