Alpha is a place to explore the Christian faith with others. It’s a series of sessions focused on questions of life, faith and meaning. Each session has food, a talk, with space to discuss and ask any questions you want.

No pressure, follow up or charge

If you have recently joined us at The Street - Mt Vic, we would love to invite you to our next First Step course.
If you have been coming for a while, you are very welcome too!

Hear a bit about the history of The Street, who we are now and how to get connected. We would also like to get to know you too!

Sunday October 27th 12pm - 1pm 

We will gather with others for the shared lunch straight after the service, and at 12pm head over to the Willis Room in the Life Centre

The monthly shared lunches are a wonderful addition to our gatherings at Mt Vic. They have helped create space to get to know each other and share more deeply together.

In order for the shared lunches to continue, we need to grow the team.

We need two additional ‘point people’ who are willing to take the lead once every four months, as well as four people to join the set up team and four people to join the pack down team. The set up and pack down team members will then be able to be rostered 2-3 months.

Please email Mel Lienert on mel.lienert@thstreet.org.nz to register your interest. The lunches on 29th Sep or 27th of Oct would be a wonderful time to get stuck in!

Expressions of love can be shown in many different ways. Often, extending the love of Jesus is practical. Meeting a felt need of someone. Through the incredible ministry of CAP we are able to come alongside someone experiencing crippling debt and be part of their journey to financial freedom.

Our CAP debt centre manager, Merrie, is currently supporting a client and her two teenage daughters who have a few specific needs and we would love to be able to meet these for her. Please get in touch with office@thestreet.org.nz if you are able to help in any way.

• A tumble dryer. Doesn't need to be new, but does need to work.

• Fix a garage door? The roller type.

• Plumber who could fix a toilet. It leaks around the base.

• Warm woman’s clothes size 6/8/10

We are at a decisive moment as a nation, a time when the agreement by which tangata whenua and tangata tiriti live together is being called into question. As a church community, we can grow in our understanding and engagement in this conversation along with our brothers and sisters among churches within Wellington.

If you are interested in learning more about The Treaty of Waitangi and the role of the church in understanding how the Treaty is he tatau pounamu—a covenant pathway of reconciliation - Karuwhā and Venn Foundation are hosting a series of public lectures with Dr. Alistair Reese, a well-respected theologian and historian. In Wellington this is taking place on the 14th of May, and you can register via the venn.org.nz website.

Life Groups are such an important aspect of discipleship because our growth happens in intentional relationships and over time. If you are not already part of a Life Group, we would love to help you connect with a group from the Mt Vic Location. Click the button below and someone will be in touch.

How do we interact with and love our neighbour when we hold differing values? How do we raise children to be confident in who God has made them to be?

Join Richard Black for a seminar titled: 'Cultivating a discipleship mindset to raise the next generation in a diverse world'

If you come from a traditional Christian perspective, the changes in our society around gender diversity and sexuality can be confusing and confronting. This seminar will look at how Christians can be confident in their faith while maintaining an openness to others who hold different perspectives and values.

Date: Saturday 22nd June Time: 9am - 3:30pm
Venue: The Street Church, 9 Hania St, Mt Victoria
Tickets: $20 per person

All people are welcome so invite your friends, neighbours, colleagues and family members.

Harvey Rees Thomas has written a 365 day devotional called The Last Adam. It is a year of daily meditations in the life of the Lord Jesus Christ. We have a small number of these for sale at $35 each. Harvey's dedication to putting his incredible study of the life of Jesus into a format that you can glean from little and often is remarkable.

Today we are in our third week of learning skills that we need to study the Bible well. We learn about using Bible maps and looking at the background of the book of the Bible we are reading from.

The sound tech team at Mt Vic has a vital role to play for people to encounter Jesus through our Sunday Services. Our times or worship and feeding from God’s Word are all enabled through this serving role. If you have the skills, or a passion to learn these skills, we would love to hear from you! Fill in the form below and click ‘Sound Tech’ and Ryan will be in touch.

Do you have a passion for communication and an eye for design? We are keen to hear from you! Take the lead on updating the online communication for Mt Vic and help our church community stay connected. Fill in the form below and tick ‘Social Media’ as the area you are interested in serving in.

Mosaic is run weekly on a Thursday morning across the Wellington Region. Women of all ages and stages meet in homes to study the Bible and share life with one another. All Locations of The Street have a nearby Mosaic group. Babies and toddlers are welcome too! To register your interest, fill out the form below, including a note in the ‘optional message’ section that you are interested in Mosaic and someone will be in touch.

We continue our series on the skills needed to study the Bible well. Today, we are looking at how the Old and New Testaments are distinct from one another and why each part is important in understanding God's big plan for His creation. We learn the difference between Old Testament commands and New Testament commands and how they relate to us as followers of Jesus today.

Today we dive into a nine week Bible series where we will be learning skills to help us study and read the Bible. We start with reading verses in context. We will learn that reading only one verse might trip us up and give a different meaning to the verse than God intended. We can combat this by reading the verses before and after to give more context to the verse.

With Waitangi Day this coming week, we are learning about God’s original design for unity, what we are seeing in our context and country now, and our hope for God’s perfect eternity.

Don’t miss the five week series starting February 11th, titled: Wholehearted. Check out this short explanation from Simon detailing what to expect.
