The Church – Additional Building and Outfitting
There had been very little done to the church for several decades.
In 2008 there has been some significant work done on this building.
An exterior and interior paint was completed in the first part of 2008. Also new cushioned chairs, new carpet with new blinds were also purchased.
This significantly modernised the building and provided a more comfortable surrounding.
An extension to one side of the church building is planned. This will provide a new entrance, a foyer with room for a café style fellowship with a reception office area.
This centre incorporated the existing small hall that was extended, along with a new wing that was added for additional accommodation. This building project was completed in October 2007 and Kimberley Childcare Centre Te Atatu officially opened in November 2007.
The centre is leased to Kimberley Trust of Greenlane Christian Centre.
A partnership between St Giles & Greenlane was formally set up in 2003 to initiate this building complex. It is fitted with the most up to date equipment and resources.
This property is situated close to the main church site, with access gained from a right of way off Te Atatu Road. There is no direct access from the church property to the manse. This is a brick home with four bedrooms and an office/study. There is a single detached garage on site. The property was extensively refurbished in 2006 after being vacated by the last minister’s family.
An extension was made to the existing car park to provide a quality parking area for the Kimberley Childcare Centre, and to upgrade the existing car parking area of the church. All access to the church property is from Flanshaw Rd.
