Denomination: Presbyterian Church
Welcome to Canterbury Presbyterian Church!
We know that visiting a new church for the first time can be intimidating but we want you to feel at ease so we’ve put together a brief outline of how we ‘do church’ here at Canterbury on a typical Sunday. Be sure to make yourself known to our welcoming stewards on arrival and of course, seek out one of the pastors after the service for a personal introduction and a chat. The service is generally followed by a time of fellowship and morning tea.
