A small church built in 1926, it was extended in the 1980s to have an area for the kids and a kitchenette - and a toilet ! Funds for this were raised locally, and were boosted with a gift from a trust.
St. Bartholomew's has beautiful natural wood interior, of totara and possibly rimu. There are old and original historical photographs and documents on the walls, including the consecration service.
There is a list of names and photographs of all the previous vicars that have served in this Parish here.
St. Bartholomew's is also available as a smaller group wedding venue. Please click here for more information.
Komako has a Columbarium designed, financed and constructed in the church grounds by local labour. This was built for the ashes of the Komako Church people. It predates the Ashhurst columbarium by many years.
