Christchurch 50th Celebration

BCNZ/Laidlaw in Ōtautahi Christchurch is turning 50! All current and former staff, students, prayer partners, Board members and supporters are invited to celebrate with us on 12-13 September 2025.

Join us Friday evening as we gather at Te Hāpua, Halswell Centre (341 Halswell Road), for canapés and drinks to reconnect and share stories from the last five decades. We’re excited to be welcoming back former Christchurch Deans, staff and students, and anticipate an evening of entertaining anecdotes, intertwined with stories of God’s faithfulness.

On Saturday we will be based at the current campus and look forward to thoughtful engagement with some contemporary topics led by current and former faculty and graduates. As well, there will be opportunity to catch up with former classmates and staff, to tour the current campus, and to hear what’s happening now and of plans for the future.

Come join us for a weekend of remembrance, celebration, stimulating conversations and gratitude for God’s faithfulness over 50 years!
