We were able to go inside the church on a Saturday. The attendant was very friendly and knowledgeable. It is a wonderful place for a quiet moment of contemplation. Sitting in the small sanctuary gazing out at the lake and mountains is very refreshing.

Every Sunday there's a Church interfaith service for the Tourists to attend and enjoy worshipping the God of their own understanding while viewing the magnificent views through the picture window overlooking Lake Tekapo and up to Mt Aspiring. What an inspired place to build a church, the scenery leaves you in awe, I'm sure that's why, in that full church, almost everyone went up for Communion. Dan, the Minister welcomed everyone and provided a service encouraging all to live a year celebrating their best selves. It really is a part of your holiday not to miss.

If you are in Lake Tekapo, one of the mandatory activities you must do, is to cross a peculiar bridge and go to this church. You will find everyone there but it doesn't matter. It's an obligation. Stunning views and a peaceful sensation

A small brownstone historical church in Tekapo, located on a bluff on the Lakefront. The front door was locked. All we got to see from the glass window at the back, were few pews, probably accommodating not more than 50 worshippers at the most.

Maybe this needs a sunny day but for me there are more interesting places and more picturesque churches to visit in NZ. It's in a very small town with a few shops and cafes. I'd say if you are going to this area then the thing to do is take to the air and get spectacular lake and mountain views.

This church provides the perfect foreground subject for an even more stunning background. The huge lake is a turquoise blue and the snow capped mountains literally wrap around the horizon on the lake. Any time of the day is a perfect time to visit, but sunset is extra special. Whilst you can’t enter the church, the exterior is cute and quaint with well maintained surroundings. Services are held there at certain times and, when they are, everyone is asked to exit the fenced area. Highly recommend this church but mostly for the backdrop.

Visited Nov 2023. I have to say that as picturesque as it is and as interesting as it is? It is ruined by being over crowded and overrun with massive coach parties. We are far from religious and probably could be accused of adding to the problem but it really was ridiculous. It's a very pretty place but I personally would recommend you go either very early in the morning or in the evening when it may be a bit quieter. Very difficult to get any photos of the church without crowds of people being it.
