What is the purpose of the event?
This special event is a joyful celebration of Southside Pentecostal Fellowship's 21st Anniversary. It is a special Sunday service dedicated to thanksgiving for over two decades of faith, fellowship, and ministering to our community. In the spirit of our theme, "Enlarge the Tent," we are actively inviting everyone—including former members—to join us, experience the love of Jesus, and be part of our continued growth. It is a time to reflect on what the Lord has done and embrace the future.
How do I get to the venue?
The Ararimu Hall is accessible by several transport options, and we are happy to assist you if you need help!
Public Transport:
Since Ararimu is outside the main public transport network, the closest main hub is Papakura Train Station.
From there, you may need to utilize a local bus service or a taxi/ride-share service to complete the journey to Ararimu Hall.
We highly recommend using the Auckland Transport Journey Planner on the AT website or app for the most accurate and up-to-date route suggestions.
Private Car:
The Hall is located approximately 10 minutes from the Southern Motorway.
For navigation, use Papakura Train Station as a key point of reference, as it is a major transit hub in the area. From Papakura, follow signage or use a GPS app for the most direct route to Ararimu Hall (it is located near the corner of Ararimu Road and Steele Road).
Ride-Share (Uber/Taxi):
Services like Uber or local taxis are an easy way to get directly to the Hall, especially if travelling from the Papakura area.

Be Comfortable: Wear clothing that allows you to relax, enjoy the worship, and celebrate with us.
The most important thing is that you join us. We care more about you being filled with the love of Jesus than what you are wearing!
