Support Us

The Church of the Good Shepherd is cared for by a very small group of local parishioners and in the tradition of the folks of the Mackenzie we know how to get things done. You are welcome to join us mowing, gardening, trimming, laying paths, shifting rocks with machinery, digging holes and building fences.

DONATE

We do not receive any income other than that which is donated. Please help us keep the church open for visitors to this lovely place by contributing $5 at the Tap to Donate PayWave station or by cash to the Donation Box when you visit. Thank you.

From time to time we receive generous bequests from people for whom the Church of the Good Shepherd has been significant. We are incredibly grateful for these gifts which enable us to carry out important maintenance and keep the church operating. If you would like to discuss a bequest or gift please contact Adele: [email protected]

EARTHQUAKE STRENGTHENING

Like many heritage buildings in New Zealand we are faced with the high cost of  Earthquake Strengthening the church in the near future. While the building is not  deemed particularly unsafe we are compelled to comply with building code regulations. Your contributions to our Earthquake Strengthening fund would be hugely appreciated.

VOLUNTEERS 

If you would like to offer your services to help look after the lawns and natural environment around the church please get in touch. 

GATEKEEPERS

We also have a dedicated team of volunteer Gatekeepers who open and close the gates every day. This helps us manage the impact of many visiting tourists, especially at night, during big weather events and for our regular 4pm Sunday service. The church needs a wee rest each day!
