Our Story

St Alban’s Church is a church community with music-filled worship, opportunities for prayer and fellowship, a children and families’ outreach, and a commitment to being a blessing in our wider world and community.

There are different ways that you can join us in connecting with God. We enjoy the presence of God through the beauty of our Anglican liturgy with traditional hymns and contemporary songs, quiet and reflective weekday communions, occasional services with other local churches and through the fun and fellowship of children and families gatherings.

We offer opportunities for you to discover, grow and deepen your Christian life, through study groups, prayer, and fellowship groups such as women’s evenings, men’s group and community gatherings. Our children and families programme is rebuilding after Covid, and features seasonal events with creative activities.

Our mother church in Ngaio Street is currently closed for earthquake strengthening, so we meet on Sunday mornings in San Antonio Catholic Church in Oroua Street. Our parish office is in our parish hall next to St Alban’s Church in Ngaio Street, Eastbourne.

It’s been a busy week and it’s a great weekend coming up, with a baptism at the 9.30 am Sunday service. Two pieces of episcopal news: Wellington diocese has a new assistant bishop, with the announcement of the Revd Anashuya Fletcher of Gonville to join Bishop Justin on the episcopal team. And the sad news that Bishop Muru Walters, former Maori All Black and Bishop of Te Upoko o Te Ika, has died in Auckland. His funeral was on Monday. Rest In Peace Bishop Muru and blessings to Lorraine and all your family. See MoreSee Less
