A Sacred Pilgrimage

Upcoming Event

Haerenga Tapu - A Sacred Pilgrimage

When

7pm Friday 15 May - 11:30am Sunday 17 May 2026

Where

Te MaungaRONGO Marae, Ohope

You're invited to a sacred pilgrimage. Join us as we discover the story of God and explore what it means to be a missional wayfinder in Aotearoa New Zealand.

"Wayfinders go beyond the known, and journey on voyages of discovery to new horizons. Central to the wayfinding approach is seeing what is really going on - discerning the detail and seeing the whole. The wayfinder has a deep understanding of themselves, their crew, their waka and the environment."

Wayfinding Leadership: Ground-breaking Wisdom for Developing Leaders by Spiller, Barclay-Kerr, and Panoho

These gatherings are for anyone interested in new missional ventures, church planting, established church leaders - anyone who cares about God's church, and God's mission. It is a time of community building, encouragement, and inspiration.
