About Chapel of St John the Evangelist, Auckland

The Collegiate Chapel of St John the Evangelist is the oldest church building in Tāmaki Makaurau, designed by Frederick Thatcher in 1847. It sits at the heart of Hoani Tapu, the St John's Theological College campus, at 226 St Johns Road in Meadowbank, Auckland. The website says daily worship is at the heart of life on campus, and that services follow the Three Tikanga Church community, drawing on liturgies from Te Rawiri, the Book of Common Prayer and A New Zealand Prayer Book. The chapel is led by the Reverend Mele Prescott. For some services, the website says, it helps to have the Tuia App on your device.

One customer attended a funeral service for a friend and found the chapel too small and cramped, and the service hasty. The website invites enquiries about study options, campus life and enrolment.
