About Northgate Community Church

Northgate is a branch of Chapel Hill Community Church in north-east Hamilton, New Zealand. Our situation today is the result of a deep conviction that Chapel Hill should plant a new church somewhere in the north of Hamilton, and the Lord graciously provided the perfect piece of land to build a church that will literally be a light on a hill. The positioning on a rise near the intersection of Gordonton and Borman Rds overlooking the north-east of Hamilton gives added weight to our name "Northgate".

As we progress from the initial branch we expect to grow in numbers as well as in spiritual maturity (and build a fancier website), and would invite you to join with us, worship with us and be part of an exciting journey.

Our services

Our Sunday services start at 10am and include teaching, worship and communion. Kids from 5 to 12 are involved in Light House (childrens' teaching) and we operate a creche for the under 5's.

Location

From 5 October 2008 we will be meeting at Te Totara School in Borman Rd. It's hard to explain how to get there because these streets haven't been officially named yet, but if you go to the intersection of Borman Rd Extension and North City Road (by the Hamilton Christian School) and then look to the east you will see some traffic lights. Head towards those traffic lights and Te Totara School will be on your left.

Our office is currently located at Chapel Hill Community Church at the corner of Cate and Rototuna Roads and is attended every day.

Community events

We are planning a light party as a Chrisitan alternaitve to Halloween ... contact the church office for more details.

A bit of history

Chapel Hill Community Church emerged from an intensive 2 year planning process at Hillcrest Chapel in the early 1990's in which the leaders followed the Lord's vision to establish a church somewhere in the north-east of Hamilton. On a beautiful sunny Sunday morning on 11th September 1994 about 100 people formerly from Hillcrest Chapel met in what is now C block at the Hamilton Christian School using the name Northside Chapel.

As the School's needs changed and this auditorium was converted into a library and class rooms, Northside Chapel moved to the Eastern Suburbs Rugby Club, and then moved again several years later to the Fairfield College Hall. Finally the existing Chapel Hill building was opened in 2000.

As Chapel Hill began to grow the leaders sought the Lord's guidance on what the next move should be. The Lord's command to establish a new church became very clear and plans were laid to branch out in the spring of 2006, almost 12 years to the day since Chapel Hill began. On 17 September 2006 about 50 adults (along with a few well-wishers) returned to the Hamilton Christian School and Northgate began...
