Faith Workshops
Neurodiversity and You
You have probably heard people talk about neurodiversity or you know someone who is or you are yourself but what does it mean? How can you work with it or support others who are neurodiverse. What does it mean for everyday life? How do you work with it not against it

Mental Health and Our Faith
How do we, as Christian’s talk about depression, or anxiety, or any other mental health challenge? How can we share the good news of Jesus to those who are in deep despair or are overwhelmed with all the things going on in the world? What does it mean to be a Christian who lives with a mental health challenge? If any of this jumps out at you and we would like to be involved in a conversation, then come along to this faith workshop

What we say we believe – Kupu Whakapono
In the Presbyterian Church we have a confession of faith, but what are we actually confessing? what is it that we are telling the world we believe? Come along for a fun overview of the confession, we’ll dive in and you’ll come out knowing more about faith and what we say matters most to the gospel.

“It’s OK to Be Different!” It’s your superpower
Be YOU, Loud and Proud. Think being different is a problem. Nah… Come hang out, have fun, and discover how God designed you to be 100% original—with purpose, personality, and gifts no one else has. We’ll talk real stuff like why your quirks matter, how being yourself can change your world, and how God uses all the unique bits of you in His big story. No fake. No pressure. Just a chill space to discover the real you—the one God already celebrates
Andrew Tims
Jesus Loves Trees Too
So. You like nature and Jesus eh? Same! God really does care about what’s happening with the environment – He created it after all! Not only does God care about Creation, He wants us to care about it too. In this workshop we’ll talk about how awesome Creation is, and how we can be a part of loving and caring for it.
