Event 1 :
Internships
We offer placement to people wishing to grow in their experience of pioneer service. It takes up the call by Jesus to love and serve those in need, the last, the least and the lost. The good news of Gods love and Grace is contexualised into the local community in entrapenurial and simple ways and those we serve are apprenticed to do the same. Talk to us about this if you wish to know more.
We are a part of the Levin Anglicans
Like layers of pancakes each community within the Levin Anglican Parish contributes the life and mission of the church. Greenhouse is a pioneering community working at the edge of society to be with those who are marginalised or excluded from society. In this way we deciple them in Christ, recognising God at work through them, and we create the environment to allow those people to develop and grow us all. The Sunday congregations also add to these layers providing ministry to those followers of Jesus.
A light to the world
The community does not exist for its own self but aims to bless others and for its people to be in the world in life-giving ways that reveal Gods love in us.
