A Word About Us
Fellowship. Friendship. Worship.
The St. Peter’s Syrian Orthodox Church was established in New Zealand in September 2002 by the immigrant families and individuals of Syrian Christian tradition from Kerala. This helped us to worship in Malayalam language and Jacobite tradition, to grow in Christian fellowship and friendship.
Our Holy Mass is conducted in Malayalam every Sunday. If you know someone who shares the tradition, please refer them to this church. If you are in Auckland, come with us to share the joy of being used by God especially while being in Diaspora.
There are families from various parts of Kerala, and a number of them came from various parts of Kerala. You will most probably find a person from your region.
Fellowship
We believe intentional relationships are key to sustained spiritual growth. That's why small groups are such an important part of our mission -fellowship & friendship.
Our Community Connect Groups, allow us to connect, support, and grow as we learn to do life together in New Zealand. We consider local community care as an important aspect of our church life.
In a church group, people study God's word together and discuss the issues and challenges of life. It's also where they pray, care for one another, and are missed if they don't show up. We have St. Mary's Women's League, Sunday School, Youth Association to meet this goal.
