The Devonport Church is a family of gatherings that vary in size, style, and expression, from informal home groups and vibrant contemporary services to more traditional forms of worship. Spread across our beautiful coastal city and surrounding suburbs, each church contributes its own unique gifts, history, and personality, working together with a shared commitment to love God, share Jesus, love our neighbours, and make our city a place where people can belong and thrive.

Find a Church

At the heart of this unity are the leaders, who meet together every week to connect, pray, share, and plan. These gatherings are about friendship, trust, and seeking the best outcomes for the city. Around the table, they celebrate wins, support one another through challenges, and find practical ways to respond together to the needs they see in the community.

We believe we are better together, complementing each other’s strengths and cooperating across traditions to serve in ways no single church could do alone. Our diversity is one of our greatest strengths, enabling us to connect with people from all walks of life and offer a place of connection, encouragement, and belonging for everyone. This is what it means for us to be one church with many gatherings, distinct in expression yet united in purpose.

This unity is expressed in action through joint community meals, school chaplaincy programs, crisis response efforts, citywide prayer gatherings, and partnerships with local services and charities. We aim to be a faithful presence in the everyday life of our city, listening well, responding to real needs, and working alongside other community groups, schools, and services for the good of all.

Our goal is simple yet profound: to help create a stronger, more connected community where the love of Jesus restores hope, families are supported, and people are valued. The Devonport Chaplaincy team provides the backbone for this collective work, handling the practical coordination and support so the churches can stay focused on serving, building unity, and making a tangible difference across the city and beyond.
