“To be people of compassion determined to see God’s work done in the community”

~ St Martins Presbyterian Church values.

Over the years the St Martins parish have hosted events that allow us the opportunity to fellowship with our local communities. These events started with things like, participating in the Papatoetoe Santa Parades, to then hosting our own Neighbours Day and Church Fairs, and the Youth Group also holding a Car Wash in our parking lots for fundraising and community engagement. Then in the last couple of years, prior to COVID-19 we had introduced Holy Week Services that were done in conjunction with neighbouring churches around Papatoetoe.

All these events have been a good encouragement for us to stay connected within our community and it is something we all enjoy partaking in when it comes around. A lot of our community events had to be put on hold due to COVID-19, however, we are very pleased to be on the other end of the pandemic so that these events can slowly pick up again.

The following photos and galleries are named and dated back to when each event was held to give you visual idea of our involvement within our community.
