The Motueka Anglican Parish is a loving and caring Parish with a diverse congregation.

Our parish is centred on the church of St Thomas in Motueka and includes the churches of St Barnabas in Riwaka and St James in Ngātīmoti.

Historically the parish has been of an evangelical nature and several community ministry programmes are based at St Thomas.

We believe that God loves us so much that He sent His Son to become human and teach us, and show us, the way back into an intimate and meaningful relationship with Him.
