About Us

Nativity is a big, red, Anglican Church in Blenheim and is part of the wider Diocese of Nelson, but these details hardly begin to reveal its real and vibrant character.

We are a church of incredible variety – there are people of all ages and stages who feel at home here. The doors are wide open to everyone, from those who have never set foot in a church to others with backgrounds rich in church tradition. We’re deeply committed to meeting people where they are and helping them grow in their relationship with God.

As such a large and diverse community, we offer a whole range of small groups designed to best meet people’s needs. Surf around this site and you’ll find all sorts: from courses to specialist groups; traditional to contemporary worship...

Nativity is also as united as it is diverse. This comes from our orthodox theology, our deep respect for the Bible as God’s living word, and our openness to the renewing power of God’s Spirit. This commitment to unity means we're dedicated to building open, honest relationships where everyone can feel free to explore their faith in an atmosphere of trust.
