Waiapu Cathedral of St John the Evangelist

A PLACE OF RESURRECTION, LIFE, AND HOPE!

Our Waiapu Cathedral people are a vibrant community sharing the Christian journey together. 

You are welcome here whether you come as a person seeking a spiritual journey, a tourist, an occasional worshipper, or a person seeking a spiritual home. You are welcome to join the journey with us for a few moments or for a lifetime. 

We welcome all who come, and know that all people are precious to God, our loving Creator. We value and celebrate the presence and ministry of children and young people. We offer hospitality for worship, community gatherings, forums, celebrations and commemorations. We are a resurrection people. We strive to live out our faith in Christ in our individual lives and as people gathered together in community. 

We aspire to be a people of faith, hope and new beginnings.
