Durham Street Methodist Church
Durham Street Methodist Church, Gothic Revival church in Christchurch, New Zealand
The Durham Street Methodist Church features basalt from Halswell, Port Hills, and sandstone from Charteris Bay in its construction design.
Built in 1864 under the supervision of architect Samuel Farr, this church became the first stone religious building in the Canterbury region.
The congregation includes members from Māori, Pakeha, Pasefika backgrounds, creating a multi-cultural environment for worship and community activities.
Sunday gatherings occur at 10 AM in Aldersgate Chapel, with live streaming options available for remote attendance.
The replacement building, opened in 2020, contains a memorial courtyard honoring three workers who died during the 2011 earthquake.
