Grants Road Ministry is a vision to include the school, church (Papanui SDA Church) and Footsteps Preschool under the one umbrella of outreach. It aims to connect the three parts as one community.

KIDS CHURCH

Kids Church is run once a month for kids aged 3-12 and continues to be a fun avenue for kids to worship God through singing, crafts, games, science experiments, music, prayer, discussion and all sorts of other goodies! A big thankyou to the Kids Church team who work tirelessly to create fun and lasting memories of who God is and how great His love is for us. Click here to view photos of some of these events.

FOOTSTEPS PRESCHOOL

Footsteps Preschool provides wonderful learning opportunities for our preschoolers. Each day offers fun highlights while also learning. The children on occasion pop over to Christchurch Adventist School Primary Chapel programmes to 'see what the big kids do' and experience a small portion of school life. Please continue to uphold the dedicated team as they lead our toddlers to know and love the Lord.

STUDIO SEVEN

Studio Seven is a Performing Arts group run by Grants Road Ministry. Professional vocal trainer Shelly Liken, drama enthusiast Byron Ling and amazing guitarist Vincent Toialoa lead the group each week in song, drama, public speaking, guitar and general confidence building. The group have performed in various locations this year including Papanui Church during the Church service, Ilam Church for their 'Praise Hymn' programme and featured on local television network CTV. Recently the group presented a concert in the church hall which showcased their drama, creative expressions, singing and instrumentals. Studio Seven is a fun environment to learn great skills you will have for life. If you are between the age of 8 and 18 and interested in performing arts, contact Byron Ling.

UNITE and FUSE

UNITE is a city-wide monthly Friday night Youth programme for all Youth aged 16+ run by the South NZ Conference Youth Department. FUSE is a city-wide bi-monthly Friday night programme for all Teens high-school aged, run by Grants Road Ministry. Both UNITE and FUSE were born out of a passion to see young people in Christchurch connect with God and each other, We are very excited to be working with fantastic, passionate young people on the leadership teams of these events.
