Story: Diverse Christian churches
These young people are attending a service at the Hanouri Korean Presbyterian Church in Glenfield on Auckland's North Shore. Of the more than 30,000 Korean migrants in New Zealand, about 90% attend church regularly.

Pastor Israel Park, youth minister at Hanouri Presbyterian, New Zealand's largest Korean church, says hundreds attend for non-worship activities such as language courses, music lessons and cooking classes.
