New Zealand Outreach

We have many different partners in ministry that work alongside GCC in Northland and South Auckland. Our mission is to encourage and mentor pastors and leaders from all denominations throughout the Northland region, seeking to see breakthrough and strengthening in our own 'backyard'. We are on hand to support smaller churches in the Northland region and provide tools that will see a lasting impact in the community.
ALPHA
Alpha is a course designed primarily for non Christians wanting to know more about the Christian faith. It is a safe and comfortable place for anyone wanting to ask questions and learn more, and of course eat some good food and enjoy good company. We run several Alpha courses throughout the year, including classic Alpha, Hindi Alpha and Student Alpha.
