Chris Gregory
Leader - Puriri Centre Takapuna
At The Puriri Centre in Takapuna, our mission is deeply rooted in compassion. This isn’t just a word for us; it’s a call to action.
Vision
We envision communities where everyone feels valued, connected, and creative. Our strategic plan is our roadmap to making this vision a reality.
Living lives with meaning and purpose
At the heart of our work is the belief that everyone deserves to connect and live with purpose and meaning. We take inspiration from our Methodist tradition, enriching it with new energy and ideas. By embracing inclusivity, kindness, and generosity, we’re creating a sanctuary for all.
Ambitious plan
Our plan is ambitious. We’re staring a new journey. We’re shaping a space where transformative experiences happen daily. We’re not just a building; we’re developing a vibrant hub where people of all ages come to learn, grow, and make a difference. We’re envision a place of spiritual growth and co-learning, where diverse forms of worship and counseling are available for those seeking solace and guidance.
Creativity and self-expression
Creativity and self-expression are central to our approach. We believe in the power of the arts to foster personal growth and community building. Our participatory design approach invites you, our community, to help shape our programs and activities.
Sustainability
Sustainability is another key focus. We’re committed to nurturing leadership, fostering sustainable practices, and honoring Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We’ve joined the Eco Church NZ movement to help us get started and organised. We’re building not just for today, but for a sustainable future.
