Our family celebrated major milestones here like marriages, funerals, baptisms and communions. The parish is very friendly with a multi cultural flavor that reflects the area.

Check their website for service times.

Both were experiences I remember vividly, due to the scope of the place, but also the warm hearted nature of the people. The Pastor comes to personally shake your hand and make you feel at home. Everyone is generous with their smiles. It has that homey, yet larger-than-life feel to it. Not saying it's for everyone, as it's a church you could easily get lost in, but it's got a lot going for it.

I'd heard so much good feedback about this church, with many of my city dwelling friends attending…read moreit and thoroughly enjoying themselves. This Good Friday, I decided to visit. Walking up to this towering and ancient cathedral is truly breathtaking, but absolutely nothing compared to the inside. With large archways, stained glass windows of saints and knights, and lights that protrude down like classy spiders, it truly is a marvel to gawk at. I thought to myself it would be a stunning place to get married. The Vicar, Michael, was a really great preacher and full of enthusiasm. The people at the door were welcoming and it was nice to hear an organ, but mixed with more modern instruments like keyboards and electric guitars. The way the seats were set out - all facing to the side of the church instead of toward the front - was slightly awkward. Everyone stares at you as you walk inside. However, maybe that's best so they can recognise and greet new people? EIther way, it was a really positive experience :)

It was on a very sad occasion that I was introduced to Windsor Park Baptist: a funeral for an…read moreinspiring lady who had fought cancer and lost. It's with great tact and compassion you preach a sermon after such an event, and thankfully, Windsor did this incredibly well. Not only is the environment welcoming and warm, but the Pastor showed a genuine love for people and compassion during a difficult time. This is really what you want to see wherever you go to Church. Since then, I've met a few people who frequent this place, and it's spoken of so highly, I sometimes wish I lived on the North Shore to attend it.

I have a confession to make: I don't like to go to church on Sunday mornings. It is not because I…read moredon't care for the message, or that I'm not a Christian, I do and I am... It is the pure fact that when I'm not working on Sundays, it is the one morning where I can get some good rest, and catch up on some live action from the PGA Tour. A very sad excuse, I admit, but unfortunately I don't have a better one. All selfish reasons, reasons alone that should entice me back to church. So tomorrow I will go to church, and the church of choice is the Windsor Park Baptist Church, led by pastor Grant Harris, you will not be force fed a sermon telling you how bad you are, but instead you will feel the positivity from his message. Grant is a very friendly and approachable leader, and a man who is more than happy to welcome new people to the church, and a man who understands the issues of the modern man.

They are also predominately South African, so if you come from Africa, you'll find yourself right at home! Operating out of a school hall, their office is actually on Harris Rd in Botany, so feel free to drop in on a Sunday about 10am for a coffee and an enjoyable service. Be sure to greet the pastor Andrew and his wife Emma. If you are planning on staying, get plugged into a Life Group, so you can make some good friends and grow in your relationship with God.

It towers above you and you could spend the whole service purely looking at it. I was actually singing at the wedding and the church acoustics were such a novelty. It made us sound a whole lot better! It was so amazing seeing the whole bridal party come down the long aisle, really breath taking. At the end of the wedding the rung the bells which made a really traditional wedding even more so. We then had drinks and nibbles in one of the wings of the church.

It's a real respite from the grind of the city, and I'll never get over the charm of it being situated right next to that other place of worship: Sky City. This is a really inclusive place; everyone is welcome, and if you want to just sit here and read a book, you're welcome to do so. It's also a rad place for events: they have lots of events here so know how to do it properly, and of course it's a pretty spectacular venue. It's almost enough to turn me into a church goer.
