Community Role
Whangamata’s churches do more than Sunday services. They organise community events and provide pastoral care. They run op shops and support local families. Many churches run holiday programmes for children in summer.
Christmas & Easter Services
Special services are held at Christmas, Easter and ANZAC Day. Check with individual churches for times. Services often change during the holiday season. This is to accommodate the larger summer population.
