Gladstone Church

Gladstone Church is just by the junction of:

• • the Te Whiti Road to Gladstone School, Gladstone and Masterton;

  • the Longbush Road to Longbush and Martinborough;

  • the Gladstone Road to the Gladstone Inn, the Gladstone Vineyard and Carterton.

The church was built in 1904, severely damaged by the Masterton earthquake of 1942, and rebuilt in a traditional style in 1955.

The church is well supported locally. At one time there were separate Presbyterian and Anglican services but more recently services have been combined and held at intervals during the year, especially at Easter and Christmas. Services for 2022 are:

Friday 4th March at 11am - World Day of Prayer;

Sunday 17th April - Easter Sunday at 11am;

Sunday 19th June - Midwinter Candlelit service at 5pm;

Monday 31st October (Halloween) - Trunk & Treat at 5pm;

Sunday 18th December at 5 p.m. — Carol service;

Friday 24th December at 5 p.m. — Christingle (the Christmas story, especially for children).

Information on the location of services (if not the church), and on any COVID precautions, will be advised at a later date.

The church is often used for weddings. These must be celebrated by an ordained minister, or priest, who can be of any Christian denomination. The church seats about a hundred. If you are planning a wedding you may wish to consider the following local services: Anne Clinton-Baker (flowers), or Entice (catering).
