St Thomas

101 High St, Motueka

Our preaching is from the scriptures, and our worship music is to gather, invite and grow in our relationship with Jesus.

We acknowledge the commandment (Luke 22:19) and the foundation of the early Church (1 Cor 14:26) when we share the Lord’s supper with each other.

We further acknowledge that this is a time to bring our cares, hurts, illnesses and brokenness to the foot of the cross – and leave them there, trusting in the grace extended to us through Jesus’ sacrifice, once and for all, on the cross.
