Its Sunday service last week between 9am and 10.45am has been listed as a location of interest.

The congregation is resorting to online church for the next two weeks, a spokesperson told the Herald.

Many were tested for Covid on Wednesday and Thursday but are still awaiting test results due to the delays in Auckland.

The spokesperson told the Herald it has been "frustrating" but it's better to err on the side of caution. He said most of the congregation is vaccinated.
