 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * weak keep As a church with "campuses" in several NZ cities this has the feel of a small denomination (which we would normally keep). If one campus (congregation) occupies the largest indoor venue in a city each week, it may also be notable.  However, it is difficult to be sure when there is little more than a stub.

 * Keep From a Wellington NZ perspective Arise is the largest church in the city. It meets weekly at the Michael Fowler centre - seating over 2000. While this alone does not make it notable in the media, from a religious perspective it is. The article needs a major tidy up NealeFamily (talk) 08:08, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep Major church. Not hard to source.  This is the sort of AFD that could and should have been avoided by a proper WP:BEFORE.  Sourcing now, not a difficult task since the church has been covered in New Zealand's major newspapers.  See, for example, this profile of the Pastor  from Radio New Zealand.  More sources now on the page, making Nom, earliest !vote obsolete.  E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:00, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
