About City Impact Church School
City Impact Church School is a private Christian school located on Auckland's North Shore, offering education from Year 0 to Year 13. It was founded in 2004 by Pastors Peter and Bev Mortlock and has been led by Principal Darrell Parratt since 2007.
The school operates within a Pentecostal Christian framework and is closely affiliated with City Impact Church, sharing its beliefs, values and leadership direction. Its curriculum is shaped by a Biblical worldview, and Christian faith is integrated across school life rather than treated as a separate subject.
The school's Statement of Faith reflects Pentecostal doctrine, including belief in the gifts and baptism of the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, and divine healing — positions that distinguish it theologically from broadly Christian or interdenominational schools.
