Activity descriptions and schedule

Good news is on the way! The Tauranga activity schedule isn’t quite ready yet, but we’ll have it up on the site very soon — along with the registration form. Stay tuned!

Site Description

This year the Church of God, a Worldwide Association, Feast site is moving to a new location. Our site this year is located in Tauranga, New Zealand. For those flying in from overseas, the site is located just less than a 3-hour drive from Auckland International Airport. Daily services will be held at the Hotel Armitage Conference Centre. We will have plenty of room and welcome transfers to the Feast site. Tauranga is located on the Bay of Plenty. The area has a rich history that can be explored. In addition, there are ziplines, hiking and jetboating for the more adventuresome. The area has a number of restaurants of varied cuisines. Come join the Kiwi brethren for a memorable and rewarding Feast of Tabernacles in 2026.

Tauranga offers an excellent range of accommodations, including backpacker hostels, motels, holiday rental homes and five-star hotels. Helpful New Zealand accommodation websites are aatravel.co.nz, airbnb.co.nz and holidayhouses.co.nz. For our United States brethren see vrbo.com/en-nz 

Our Feast weather is normally temperate with cooler nights and warm sunny days. Of course, we understand how easy it is for weather conditions to change! Visitors should bring warm clothing, as it can be cool in the evenings.
