Our Story

St Alban’s Church is a church community with music-filled worship, opportunities for prayer and fellowship, a children and families’ outreach, and a commitment to being a blessing in our wider world and community.

There are different ways that you can join us in connecting with God. We enjoy the presence of God through the beauty of our Anglican liturgy with traditional hymns and contemporary songs, quiet and reflective weekday communions, occasional services with other local churches and through the fun and fellowship of children and families gatherings.

We offer opportunities for you to discover, grow and deepen your Christian life, through study groups, prayer, and fellowship groups such as women’s evenings, men’s group and community gatherings. Our children and families programme is rebuilding after Covid, and features seasonal events with creative activities.

Our mother church in Ngaio Street is currently closed for earthquake strengthening, so we meet on Sunday mornings in San Antonio Catholic Church in Oroua Street. Our parish office is in our parish hall next to St Alban’s Church in Ngaio Street, Eastbourne.

St Alban’s is celebrating Matariki on Sunday 15 June, and we’d love you to join us! This is a fun festival of kite-flying for primary and preschool aged tamariki and their whānau. We’ll have kite-making, pizza and a colourful kite display from a kite flying master (weather permitting). Bring your own kite if you like, and there’s a ‘guaranteed to fly’ kite-kit for the first 25 whānau, so get in early to avoid disappointment! Kite-making begins at ESSC from 12:30. Kite-flying and pizza slices on the beach by Karamu Street 1-3pm. Koha if you like. Come as you are! See MoreSee Less

The monthly Women’s Dinner is on this Thursday 29 May at the Eastbourne Sports & Services Club. And next weekend (Sunday June 1st, 9.30 am) is our shared service, this month hosted by St Ronan’s Presbyterian Church in Muritai Road. All welcome. See MoreSee Less

It’s "All-Sorts" Sunday coming up on 18 May, 9.30 am. at San Antonio Church in Oroua Street. And don’t forget to encourage young families towards Pop-In-And-Play, our preschoolers all-comers Friday morning playgroup at St Ronan’s hall. A simple straight-forward AGM last Sunday set us on the path for the coming year, as we move steadily towards Hokinga Mai, our return to the St Albans church complex in Ngaio Street. See MoreSee Less
