Chapel of Faith in the Oaks

This Chapel was built in 1886 as a mortuary Chapel. It was used to conduct burial services until the present Chapel complex was built in 1952. It is now the scene of weddings, blessings and funeral services, it is also used for numerous film location shoots. With the dissolution of the Chapel of Faith in the Oaks Trust, management reverted back to Council during 2008.

went to new lynn methodist church from 1950 to 1960 and takapuna church from 1975 to 1981 but moved to Perth australia My mother did flowers in church and I attended Girls Brigade from Cadets up to teenage years under Vi Blease. at the Perspeterian church. I enjoyed my times and still have Hymn book given to me for good attendance.
I attended the Presbyterian Church (St Andrews) for most of my childhood. Attended Girl's Brigade and the Sunday School and Bible Class. I have very fond memories of Vi Blease and the hugh impact she had on my life and the most incredible memories.
To the Glory of God Almighty.
