We have a number of community services available. Please contact us if you would like further information on any of these.
This day centre operates in the church house for those over 60 years of age, especially for those in the community who are lonely or housebound. It provides an opportunity to socialise and spend some time with others in a space for friendship, fun, caring and support.

The Church of the Good Shepherd joins with other Massey churches to organise a free family event on 31 October every year. Food, family activities, crafts, animal farm, bouncy castles, pony rides, entertainment and more. This is well advertised prior to the event. There are always lots of ways that you can help with this event. Please contact Robyn Fasi () for more information.
As Christians, Jesus has given us authority to pray for the sick and we are excited to serve in this way. We are committed to praying for a person as many times as they need prayer to bring complete healing. Clinics are held on a drop-in basis on Tuesdays 6:30-8pm and Thursdays 9:30-11am in the church. Please come along – you do not need to be a Christian to come to our healing clinics!
The CAP Money course is run regularly at Church of the Good Shepherd. It is a revolutionary money management course that teaches budgeting skills and a simple, cash-based money management system, proven to work in times of lack and in times of plenty. For further information, including how to register, please visit our CAP Money webpage.
The church runs a food bank for those who are in need of assistance. Please contact Robyn Fasi on Ph 832 5998.

A shopping experience for quality second-hand clothing that costs nothing, this is an opportunity for those who are in need of clothes for the upcoming months to acquire pre-loved clothes for themselves and their families. (Limits apply).
These shop days are held two to three times a year to cater for the warmer and colder seasons. The days are set up to be a pleasant shopping experience that gives dignity to those who need free clothing. If you want to donate your clean quality second hand clothing, we are grateful to receive goods throughout the year. Please contact Robyn ( or Ph 832 5998).
