About Us
Our Story
Storehouse Chapel has been a beacon of hope and community in Hamilton, New Zealand since 2005. What began as a small gathering of faithful believers has grown into a vibrant, multicultural faith community that welcomes people from all backgrounds.
Our name reflects our purpose — just as a storehouse provides for the needs of many, we strive to be a place where spiritual, emotional, and practical needs are met through the love of Christ. We are committed to being a true home for all who seek belonging, purpose, and faith.
Located in the heart of Hamilton at 300 Peachgrove Road, we serve a diverse community that includes families from across New Zealand and around the world. Our congregation celebrates this diversity as one of our greatest strengths.
Who We Are
We are a community defined by our faith, our diversity, and our commitment to serving others.
Multicultural
We celebrate the rich tapestry of cultures represented in our community. From Māori to Pacific Islander, Asian to European, African to Middle Eastern — all are welcome and valued.
Intergenerational
We believe in the power of generations learning and growing together. Our community intentionally creates spaces where elders mentor youth and young people inspire their elders.
Mission-Focused
We are not content to simply gather — we are called to serve. Our community actively engages in outreach, community service, and mission work locally and beyond.
A Home for All
At Storehouse Chapel, we understand that everyone is on a journey. Whether you're exploring faith for the first time, returning after time away, or looking for a new church home, you'll find a welcoming community here.
We believe in creating authentic connections through:
- Regular Sunday morning services with uplifting worship
- Casual gatherings with morning tea after services
- Small group connections throughout the week
- Community events and cultural celebrations
- Practical support for families in need
