PAUA Community Trust
Established as a Trust associated with PAUA Early Childhood and PAUA Products, it is funded by a percentage of profits from PAUA Products and individual donations. Money will be used for community work with children both in the regions that PAUA Early Childhood is working, and overseas projects.
The Statement of Faith and philosophy are below (you will recognise parts of the philosophy!), and through this PAUA Community Raewyn is a registered Marriage Celebrant... so available to perform marriage for PAUA Educators, Parents, Teachers... and anyone who asks!
PAUA Community Statement of Faith:
We believe the Bible is God’s inspired word. It is the authoritative place that we learn about God; human relationships with Him and others; and how we transform the world that He has placed us in.
We believe the Bible is God’s inspired word. It is the authoritative place that we learn about God; human relationships with Him and others; and how we transform the world that He has placed us in.
We believe in One God, who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit
- God the Father, is creator and sustainer of all things
- Jesus Christ, his Son, is both human and divine. He is the ultimate revelation of the Father and the risen Lord and Saviour of the world. He will return to the earth at a future point in history.
- The Holy Spirit is the person who brings God’s life into the lives of believers, working within them to transform them into the likeness of the Son and empowering them to serve God in real ways in this life.
We believe in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, and in the sacrifice made on the cross for the sins of the world.
We believe eternal life and salvation is experience by God’s grace, through faith in Christ alone.
We believe in the ministry and gifts of the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the Great Commission.
We believe in servant leadership – equipping people for the work of ministry.
We believe in the priesthood of all believers. All believers are equally ministers and servants of Jesus Christ.
PAUA Community:
A PAUA shell’s brilliant colours are layers formed through the process of environment and time. PAUA community seeks a transformation, through our relationship with God and that outworking in our community where we provide an environment with which affect the ‘colours’ of each individual.

We believe all children are valuable treasures, uniquely created and that they need to be part of a community passionate about educating them according to their life requirements, so that when they’re old they won’t be lost. We believe that strong families/whanau are an essential element in children’s growth and development. We believe that marriage is a foundation strong upon which strong families are built.
It is through the outworking of our faith, the day to day acts of being Jesus’ hands and feet in our community that each person’s God given PAUA colours will truly shine.
