Knox Facilities

Church Complex

The Knox Church Complex has been built over a period of 45 years to replace the original buildings. The complex has tasteful gardens and grounds, which also contain an olive tree grown from a cutting brought back from the Garden of Gethsemane by one of the previous ministers at Knox. A good-sized sealed car park is also part of the whole complex which was, in its various phases, built mainly by volunteer labour and is entirely debt free.

Campbell Hall

Campbell Hall was erected in 1956-57 and has mainly double brick cavity walls with steel frames supporting the roof. It has a capacity of 200 in its main area with stage facilities, storage and several small rooms. Its main floor area has been carpeted. A large foyer, worship auditorium, large kitchen and offices were added during 1984. Campbell Hall was also upgraded and rewired at this time.

The auditorium has an official capacity of 245, which can be enlarged into the foyer to cater for 345, though on occasions gatherings of 500 have been handled. A toilet area was added in 2000, which includes a disability area. There is also additional storage at the end of the corridor.

Use a Facility

For all use of the Church complex or Campbell Hall, please contact the Church Office for information on bookings etc.

For Weddings, contact is usually through the Minister or the Office for arrangements.

For Funerals, contact is encouraged through a chosen funeral director. The funeral director will best facilitate the use of our church.

Campbell Hall is used regularly throughout the week by community groups which include Pippins, Brownies, Guides and Rangers (Monday & Wednesday evenings), a Community Playgroup (Monday Mornings) and Care & Craft (Thursday Mornings). Additionally, Campbell Hall is utilised infrequently for other occasions throughout the year such as NZ Blood Service about 3 times during the year, Dementia Support Group Wednesday Afternoons plus other groups at other times.

Additionally, the church uses the complex for its own functions, but also provides its facilities for interdenominational events such as the very popular Light Party, each year on 31 October.
