ABOUT BLUEPRINt

Blueprint is a church community at the centre of Wellington city. We gather together on Sunday nights. Throughout the week we gather too; to pray and read scripture; to share our homes, food and faith; to share our lives with each other, and with the lonely of our city.

We and our world are hurting, but we also hold tight to the hope that Jesus Christ is good news for the poor, release for the captives, recovery of sight for the blind and liberty for those who are oppressed  (Luke 4:18-19). Our heart is to be a community of hope and healing.  Where the poor, the captive, the blind and the oppressed are welcomed and restored to be faithful, resilient, and committed disciples of Christ’s Kingdom vision. 

We live this out in three special ways:

COMPANIONSHIP

Expressed through seasonal guide small groups, discipleship, mentoring, counselling and fostering a culture where no one does faith alone. 

CHAPTERS

Expressed through missional places of hospitality and prayer such as our three intentional community houses located in the CBD.

COMMUNITY GATHERINGS

Expressed through our rhythms of communal prayer and our Sunday Gatherings. We believe a church service is not the centre of our faith, but hold that Sundays are an important time of gathering to worship as a church whānau to remember that ‘in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others’ (Romans 5:12). 

Our Anglican Connection

Blueprint started life as a church plant from a Pentecostal Church to the inner city. We floated around as a non-denominational, independent church for a number of years. We felt the call of God to connect to something bigger than ourselves; to join to the wider body of Christ. In 2013 Blueprint signed up as a pioneer mission unit of the Anglican Diocese of Wellington. We believe whole-heartedly in their vision of being a transformative movement of local church communities who care for the last, the lost and the least. As a community of primarily young-adults, our connection with the Anglican Diocese adds a wealth of depth, scholarship and stability to Blueprint. Blueprint has felt a call to send people out to be part of renewing local communities of faith in Aotearoa. We believe in the parish model of church: communities embedded in their local community, loving and serving their neighbours. Since 2018 we’ve been involved in two church plants: one to Lyall Bay and one to Brooklyn, and continue to seek God for the places we are sent to serve.
