We are a warm and inclusive community where everyone is welcome and feels a sense of belonging.
Our values are best expressed in the following words attributed to John Wesley:
Do all the good you can
By all the means you can
In all the ways you can
In all the places you can
At all the times you can
To all the people you can
As long as ever you can

Somervell Presbyterian Church is a progressive, affirming and welcoming church based in Remuera, Auckland.
Find us on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/SomervellPresbyterianChurch/
We are a non-residential community, who are committed to being an affirming and welcoming space for all. This is reaffirmed in our Kaupapa: “This community is committed to being a safe space for all, across the full diversity of the Anglican Church, including the rainbow community and whānau (parents or caregivers with children).”
Within our group we have members from across the rainbow community, and we strive to be a space where anyone can come as they are, as openly as they feel comfortable to be. Practical examples of this are introductions always including preferred pronouns, members of the group attending Pride marches, and to seminars such as “God is Queer” hosted by SCM and Steff Fenton, and the Awaken Conference as well as being involved in advocacy work (eg. submissions made supporting the ban of conversion therapy).
We have an open and inclusive approach to theology, with members of the steering group taking a particular interest in Queer theology, alongside feminist/womanist theology, ecotheology and liberation theology. We aim to be a safe space to unpack theology that has discriminated against populations and reclaim Biblical narratives and themes in ways that are more accurate, as well as inclusive, and seek to understand the lens we each bring Christianity.
Within this, we also acknowledge that we are not perfect, and need to continue to learn, grow and take on feedback from our community and others. We are committed to this journey of learning, and will continue to actively take part in learning opportunities that will enhance our ability to provide safety, inclusion and affirmation for the rainbow community.

Auckland Methodist Central Parish – where unity and diversity meet
There is a great diversity of people at All Saints. Everyone of every age and condition is welcome. We pray that we can be as hospitable, inclusive, and compassionate as Jesus encouraged his first disciples to be so every one finds a welcome here. We don’t always agree with each other but we manage to get along, have some fun, and encourage each other as we seek to be the Body of Christ in this part of God’s creation.
