Vision and Beliefs
At GCC our vision is to see lives, our city, our nation and our world changed with the transforming power of the love of Jesus.
We believe in the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit), Jesus Christ (The Son, our only Saviour) and the Bible (the irrefutable Word of God). We hold baptism (the baptism of the Holy Spirit and water baptism by full immersion) and Communion (a remembrance and celebration of Christ's death and resurrection) as essential parts of our church services.
Through stewardship (all we have, our time, talent and resources, is entrusted to us by God for His glory), belief and obedience in these things, our mission is to help non-churched people become fully committed followers of Jesus Christ.
History
In 1981 a group of 15 people met in an Auckland home to encourage each other, study God’s Word and become more devoted followers of Jesus Christ.It wasn’t long before the group outgrew the home and began meeting in various venues throughout central Auckland. By the end of the year the new church numbered over 100. For another year the church continued to meet in different locations around the city until it was decided that a more permanent home was needed.
The church felt called to the Greenlane motorway interchange area and in 1983 began acquiring property along Marewa Road. It was four years before sufficient property was acquired and building could begin.
Turf was turned in early 1988 and in September that year Greenlane Christian Centre was officially opened.
Services
Greenlane has three services every Sunday. Our 9am and 11am services are identical and include:- full youth programmes.

Our Sunday evening service starts at 6.30pm. This is a more contemporary service, with great emphasis on Community and discussion. It includes a message and worship.
Our cafe operates after each service; a great place to relax with friends.
