Our Church

Presbyterians have worshipped in Henderson since the early part of last century. The church was opened in 1911 in Station Road (now Railside Avenue). It was originally under Home Mission charge. The Church Hall was moved to our present location in 1964 and renovated as a Church with a hall built onto the building in an “L” shaped complex. The kitchen and meeting room (lounge) was added onto the Church in the 1980’s.

Today, the parish has a committed membership and is experiencing a steady growth across the full age range from children and young families to older people. Members of all ages and cultural backgrounds mix well. There is a positive, friendly and welcoming atmosphere within the Church family. “Family” is the operative word. Post–service morning tea is a drawn-out chatty occasion when we catch up with others’ highs and lows with genuine care, enjoyment and concern. Worship is Minister-led with Parishioners leading bible readings and intercessory prayers. Meet our Parish Council here >>
