In MOTAT (Auckland's museum of transport and technology) is this wee church named the "Chapel of the Good Shepherd" which was built in Blockhouse Bay in 1867 with the permission of Bishop George Selwyn.
Apparently progress was slow and it took 30 years from start to finish. The first wedding to be held here Mary Emily Pooley and George Keen on 26th October 1898.

A sweet little church! The one my family went to when I was a child wasn't much bigger and seemed similar -- (a little later than when that first couple were married in this one ;))). Anyway, these small churches sure seem more welcoming and full of love and all that good stuff than these mega churches people go to these days.
Beautiful little chapel

Worth a Thousand Words
Love these little wooden chapels that are still dotted around the country in places. So much history and they are so quaintly pretty. Very different to many of our more modern church buildings (which are probably a lot warmer!).
Such a beautiful little church.
Very picturesque little chapel. One would feel so close to God worshiping there.
