St Luke’s, Wadestown

Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa. Nau mai, haere mai.

Welcome to the Anglican parish of St Luke’s in Wadestown, Wellington – the church on the hill.

Our church and its hall are at the heart of the Wadestown, Wilton and Crofton Downs communities. We are on the corner of Wadestown Road and Pitt Street.

St Luke’s is a friendly, approachable, caring and inclusive community welcoming people of all ages and backgrounds.

Come and visit us – whether it be to take part in our weekly church services, attend an event, enjoy our heritage architecture or simply to take some time out to sit quietly in our contemplative spaces.

He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tangata he tangata he tangata!

What is the most important thing in the world? It is people, it is people, it is people!

We look forward to seeing you soon at St Luke’s Wadestown.

Rev John Loong, Vicar of Wadestown

When passing St Luke’s in recent months, you may have been curious about much weekday activity and tradies’ vans outside.

The earthquake strengthening project is now finished; it will bring the church up to the required seismic performance levels, whilst remaining sympathetic to St Luke’s architectural and cultural heritage. We have also refurbished the interior of the church – it looks stunning.

We are celebrating the completion of this project with a Big Weekend on Saturday-Sunday, 27-28 July. We will have an open church from 2-4pm (with afternoon tea) on the Saturday. On the Sunday at 10am, the Assistant Bishop of Wellington, Anashuya Fletcher, will officiate at a Service of Thanksgiving and meet the people of our parish. We would love to have you visit us on either day – or both! To find out more about the Big Weekend and to share with your friends and neighbours, click here.
