A History of the Dovecote

Development into the Papamoa area by the Anglican Church dates back from late 1998 when the Mount Maunganui Parish Vestry explored possible options with Bishop George Connor who called a meeting of Papamoa Anglicans and commissioned the Bickers report.

The Reverends Adrienne & Arthur Bruce were appointed Co-Vicars of the Mount Parish beginning in January 2000.

The initial brief was to expand mission into Papamoa East working alongside the Social Services Trust Board and with a focus on the needs of youth and the elderly.
