Our Churches


  St. John

St. John the Evangelist

The original church was built on the present site in 1966. It had to be constructed on a strict budget and was still part of the Puhoi Parish until 1980 when the Hibiscus Coast Parish was formed. In 2001, the wonderful new church was built, and the old church building became the Parish Hall.

St. Francis

St. Francis by the Sea

In 1984, the church of St. Francis by the Sea was built. This was needed to cater for the growing congregation on the Peninsula. Prior to the building of St Francis, parishioners worshipped in the Stanmore Bay Community Hall or, during the summer holidays, Whangaparaoa Hall due to the influx of holidaymakers.
