EARTHQUAKE UPDATE: Since 4 September 2010 our historic Victorian Gothic wooden church has survived three major earthquakes (and thousands of aftershocks) almost unscathed and is the only habitable church in use in the central city. Unfortunately our 1872 Bevington three-manual pipe organ was damaged in the 22 February 2011 earthquake and was subsequently removed for repairs and renovation. 

At the bottom of this page you will find photo attachments featuring our damaged organ. Please also see the attachments where WE ARE SEEKING DONATIONS to help us meet the NZ $500 000 organ restoration cost 

While Christchurch Cathedral has attracted wide publicity, St Michael's has not, but is trying desperately to conduct its vibrant musical and Christian ministry as usual.

See the CTV report about the organ we have on loan until our earthquake damaged organ is restored.
