OUR VALUES

Our church services are led by Pastors Frank & Monique Ngatoro in collaboration with our leadership team.  Each of our Meeting Place Values informs everything we do, and is really evident in our Church Services. In order to serve our community with an unfailing attitude of LOVE we are INTENTIONAL about learning and understanding what God has called us to do. We believe our FAITH in Jesus produces actions that bring glory to God.  Therefore we believe what the Bible says that EVERYONE who is part of Meeting Place should elevate their ministry to imitate Jesus by putting our faith into action. Each service is a safe space to practice and apply the Kingdom Principles spoken about by Jesus, His Apostles and Prophets throughout the Bible. 

Ps Monz

Meeting Place Tairawhiti's Pastors have always been committed to Jesus and His ministry of salvation through repentance (Mark 16:15 and Luke 24:47) as well as the spiritual gifts we receive through the baptism of The Holy Spirit once Jesus ascended to be at the right hand of our Father in Heaven.  Jesus said to His disciples that they would do greater works than He did because He would be with God in Heaven.  He also said whatever we ask in His name that it will happen for us so that God is glorified. (paraphrased from John 14:12&13)

During each service we actively seek to develop Kingdom mindsets, actions and understandings to imitate the life of Jesus. Essentially, equipping the saints to us means that we apply biblical principles in practical ways and action our faith.

What is MPT about

We understand:

  • The Bible is important to our relationship with God but also helps us discern the spirit/Spirit.

  • Fellowship keeps us close to the fire, helping our relationships with each other and deepening our understanding of our relationship with God alongside other believers through the experiences of our church community.

  • If we have a Word from the Lord, we should pray for the meaning.

  • Do not ignore what goes through your mind, pray about it.

  • We should write down in a journal and date any dreams, visions or words given to us by God.

  • How to listen for The Lord.

  • How to speak life and encouragement.

  • When is a prayer for someone else a physical healing prayer or a past trauma healing prayer. 

  • Our prayers are meaningful, no matter what they sound like, trust that God knows our heart.

  • That speaking to people about our faith is not comfortable for some but it is something we should practice more. 

The things which you learned and received and heard, these do... and the God of peace will be with you
Philipians 4:9

Our church services are designed to be both orderly and enriching, starting with worship to seek the presence of God and be open to the leading of The Holy Spirit. Following worship, a message is shared by one of our pastors or a member of the leadership team.
We view our services as opportunities to equip our fellowship with the values, principles, and practices of the Kingdom. This includes making space for prayer—whether in pairs, small groups, the entire congregation, or with the pastors. We emphasize the power of prayer and encourage everyone to actively seek God’s guidance and deepen their understanding of His Word and purpose for their lives.
Additionally, our pastors' experience plays a role in helping our church connect Biblical teachings to everyday practice. We also incorporate activation activities to help our members step out in faith and apply what they’ve learned.
