What Makes a Great Church? …people like you and I walking in our identity and God given destiny. What’s our point of difference? Our worship. We believe in spending time touching the heart of God and seeing lives transformed in His presence. One of our core values is hosting the Presence of God, because in God's presence there is power - power to live a supernatural life - in your family, your home, your marketplace. Church is family and being real is important to us. Our teaching is practical and life related. As a spirit filled church we believe that everything Jesus died for belongs to us. God is good. He thinks you’re amazing, and He has great plans for you! We invite you to join us in our passionate pursuit of Him.... discovering who He is and who He has created you to be!

Music from Pursuit Church

This song is a wonderful example of the heart of passion we have for the presence of God. It is a song that captures what God was doing in 2004, when we rebirthed the vision of the church and renamed it to Pursuit.

Background

Ray and Pam have been in ministry since 1987. As co-pastors of Pursuit, they bring a rich blend of anointings to the church. Ray’s gifting is intimate worship, prophetic exhortation and preaching. Pam is a gifted teacher with a heart for relationships and the kingdom of God. Together they bring a love for God’s presence with a desire to see people grow, change and come to maturity.

Meetings

The morning and evening meetings differ in flavour and focus. Sunday morning incorporates both worship and teaching. Worship is a central part of the morning meeting and a time of intimate encounter with the Lord. It often includes times of singing in the spirit and soaking in His presence. The evening meetings are more specific in focus and vary each week.

Encounter Evening
These meetings are a time of deep intimate worship and encounter with God.

Ministry

Our emphasis is on hosting God’s presence and allowing His goodness to be experienced through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. We expect to see miracles happen in our midst.

Doctrine

At Pursuit Church, we love to teach on the wonderful gift of God's amazing grace and the righteousness of God imputed to every believer. We hold firm to the belief that such teaching produces victorious Christians, destined to reign with Christ in this life. Listen to the message preached, or read a summary of the transcript of Pastor Ray’s teaching, on the importance of the doctrine of grace following his visit to Pastor Joseph Prince’s New Creation church in Singapore, July 2011.

Who are we?

Charismatic / Pentecostal

We are a christian charismatic church pursuing the presence of God in the central Auckland city area. We are typical of the spirit filled pentecostal Auckland churches pursuing His presence. God is restoring and refreshing the church with a new move of His Spirit. We embrace the full expression of the Holy Spirit in our meetings as part of the emerging wine skin to host the current move of God.

Grace Teaching

We have embraced the teaching of Joseph Prince from New Creation Church, Singapore. We welcome the freedom this recent emphasis on grace is bringing to the Body of Christ, while being careful to avoid some of the unrelated and unbalanced teaching that is sometimes associated with the "grace message" being preached in some circles. Read Pastor Ray's testimony about visiting Joseph Prince's Church in Singapore.

Bethel

Bethel Church Auckland - Pursuit Church has strong ties with Bethel Church, Redding California, and is associated with Bethel through their Global Legacy Program. Global Legacy (GL) is an apostolic, relational network of revival leaders whose purpose is to bring Heaven to earth (Matt. 6:10). Following the New Testament model for apostleship, GL seeks to establish Kingdom government and to build empowering cultures.

Recognizing that relationship is the foundation of God's government, GL helps build relationships between revival leaders by developing and sharing resources, through relational gatherings at conferences, ministry events and mission trips, as well as through the internet.

Bethel Global Legacy Leader Development Progam

The leader development program offers development of an apostolic plan to change your church's culture with monthly program-focused video conferences, regular encouragement, practical helps, an annual gathering of those involved in this program and other special events. Pursuit Church is part of the local regional Global Legacy fraternal for bringing Kingdom cultural transformation to New Zealand.

Vineyard

We are a full gospel church with meetings similar to the Vineyard charismatic renewal churches birthed out of revival. We hold healing meetings, and pray for the sick. We teach that healing is for today, and also preach on the other new testament gifts of the spirit, including the baptism of the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues. Signs and wonders are a part of the end-time move of God bringing revival to the earth.

House of Prayer

We seek to build an Auckland House of Prayer. While not specifically based on the IHOP model, we are a place of His presence with harp & bowl type praise and worship. We are establishing a soaking prayer centre based in central Auckland city NZ, with teaching, ministry, and practical sessions of soaking in God's presence.

We are licensed through:

ICFM (International Convention of Faith Ministries) a world-wide affiliation of ministers founded by Kenneth Copeland (Believer’s Voice of Victory), Kenneth Hagin (RHEMA Bible College), Terry Mize and Norval Hayes. We have a strong Word of Faith heritage.

BETHEL - We are associated with Bethel church, Redding California through their Global Legacy program.
