About Wairarapa Churches

Wairarapa Churches is an attempt to record the many little rural churches that dot the Wairarapa. It combines photography, a bit of history and each church's current use and contact details.

These churches in this blog have been, and remain, integral to many rural communities: where babies were baptised, couples married and funerals held, where a successful harvest was celebrated, along with Easter and Christmas, and a monthly (weather permitting) visit from a rural vicar or minister to lead worship was looked forward to.

Some of these churches are no longer used for regular worship but remain a focal point of a rural community.

Additional information on any of the churches on this blog would be welcomed.
