This is a quaint little church adorned throughout with significant Maori carvings, on the edge of Lake Rotorua, and adjacent to the Ohinemutu Marae and thermal hot pools [take care].
You may be able to enter the church and see the sandblasted window with Christ walking on the lake, and/or view the whole Church from the outside
We are fortunate to have had several family events inside this Church over 45 years, and are thankful that the clergy and custodians allow this and welcome us back.

An amazing place to visit, of great significance to the Maori people and situated in their village. Famous for its very special window.

This is a quaint little church and nice to walk around and think about how the original missionaries must have made headway here in a land of bubbling steam pools. It's peaceful and one of the older buildings, so worth a quick look.

An Anglican church which is an interesting fusion of native and colonial features, There is some elaborate carving and weaving to see as well as some nice stained glass from both traditions.
Entry is free but donations are most certainly requested.
There are some thermal areas around the back near the memorials to native servicemen.

This is such a lovely church and it is open from 10am to 3pm each day. You just need to give a donation and enjoy. The Maori carving is gorgeous and the window with Christ seemingly walking on Lake Rotorua is gorgeous. The man who opened the church for us was most friendly.

A well spoken host spoke to us about the main features inside the church and the intermixing of Christian and Maori traditions. Unique place to visit.

Beautiful with a wonderful mix of Anglican and Maori design. Check out the window of Christ in a Maori cloak , it looks like he is walking on the lake.

Stumbled upon this building in the evening twilight. Made great photos. There is a lake on one side of it.

Hi St Faiths Church is closed for the meantime as too many tour groups are taking advantage of the "Free" signs and not contributing at all yet the advertise the church in their brochures and sales information. These tour companies are expected to give a percentage as the church cannot survive on WOW and Love. Even individuals are expected to donate a gold coin. So please next time you visit a koha (donation) of a gold coin would be most welcome.
