C3 Hamilton is a diverse body of believers who love to worship freely, give generously, and spend time with family and friends. We are people who seek God’s heart for Hamilton and want to bring positive change to our community. Our church is a hub for learning about God, growing in his love, and serving the community.
With Pastors Steve and Gail Hirst at the helm, our vision is to help people live their best life. This means we want to join you as you find God, learn to live in his love, and under his smile.

“We founded C3 Hamilton with a group of like-minded friends way back in 1996 – and all these years later we’re still having a blast in this awesome, fun, happening church! We are passionate about people finding the love of God for themselves, being transformed into the people God made them to be, doing what God gifted them to do. The message of C3 Hamilton reflects the journey of its leaders – finding love for God, for life, for friends, and for those still trying to figure God, the universe and everything out…!”
Associate Pastor
Alison is responsible for:
• counselling, including Refocussing; • womens’ ministries; • pastoral visitation; • Dots to Tots and Mainly Music programmes; and • keeping everyone well and truly organised! ♥“We serve a God who loves us and who delights to work in our hearts, minds and lives to transform us into the great people he knows we can be! As a pastor, I count it a privilege to play some small part in this process – with the constant and appreciated support of my husband Greg, my adult family and my grandchildren. At C3 Hamilton, we believe in a God who says being cheerful is good for your health. We like to have fun and to encourage people to enjoy life. We are also committed to supporting people in times of trouble and tears.”
