A Place of Encounter | A People of Surrender
We gather to encounter the presence of God and respond with wholehearted surrender. We believe God still meets with people today — changing lives, restoring hope, and calling us into His purpose.

ALTARS is one church in multiple locations — a community of people passionately pursuing Jesus, and helping others do the same.
From all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life, we are united by a desire to know God, live surrendered to Him, and see lives and communities transformed by His presence.

Worship Jesus
Love People
Extend Hope
Everything we do flows from these three priorities — we worship Jesus wholeheartedly, love people unconditionally, and extend the hope of the Gospel wherever God sends us.
Our 2030 vision
Four new churches in four years
We believe the local church is God’s plan to reach people and transform communities. Our vision is to plant four new churches in four years — creating more places of encounter where people can meet with God, discover purpose, and experience the life-changing hope of Jesus.
We are committed to raising leaders, building healthy churches, and extending the hope of Christ across New Zealand, Fiji, and beyond.
