Who we are
Welcome
St Columba is a well known and respected church with established community services. Our church building is beautifully maintained, with a two-manual pipe organ, and set in beautifully landscaped gardens.
We are able to host Weddings and offer quarterly celebrations for the community celebrating the seasons of the southern hemisphere.
St Columba was built in 1930 to replace the original St Columba on the corner of Selbourne Street and Surrey Crescent which had served the parish since 1909. The present church, opened on March 29, 1931 and was designed by the Diocesan architect, Mr D.B.Patterson. A report in Auckland's Sun newspaper writes: "with the concrete road, extension of the tram line, and an increase in traffic from the north, the parishioners of St Columba, Grey Lynn, found the old site too noisy."
Of Victorian Gothic architecture, St Columba is a brick construction with a tiled roof. The tower is wood with a copper canopy. A memorial bell was later added and presented to St Columba in 1964 in memory of John Taylor Woodhall. Part of the charm of St Columba is its seclusion. It is set back from the road, with palatial grounds, a grove of Pohutakawa, Phoniex palms, Selwyn Oaks and Totara grace the entrance. The church interior was renovated in 2002. Six Arrizi pendant lights were added to the nave. A new kitchen was added to what used to be the male choir vestry and the old Sunday room was renovated and is now used as a counseling room. As much as possible, original or similar materials to those used when the church was built were used in the renovations.

Teach me
Teach me, O God, to use all the circumstances of my life to-day that they may bring forth in me the fruits of holiness rather than the fruits of sin. Let me use disappointment as material for patience: Let me use success as material for thankfulness: Let me use suspence as material for perseverance: Let me use danger as material for courage: Let me use reproach as material for longsuffering: Let me use praise as material for humility: Let me use pleasures as material for temperance: Let me use pains as material for endurance.
