City Impact Church is a Pentecostal church located in East Coast Bays, New Zealand.

Formerly known as Bays Christian Fellowship, it was founded in 1982 by current senior pastors Peter Mortlock and his wife Bev Mortlock.[1] It has now grown to around 3000 extended members (as of mid-2008). It runs two Sunday services, one at 10 am and another at 7 pm .[2]

The church also runs the television programme Impact For Life on TV channel Prime every Sunday morning at 9 am and TV3 on Tuesday mornings at 5:30 am, as well as on Shine TV. Internationally, the Impact for Life programme has been screened regularly on the Australian Christian Channel, United Christian Broadcast in UK, Power Vision in India, Cook Islands TV in Rarotonga, World Harvest Broadcasting network in Fiji and Daavo Christian Bible Channel in the Philippines.[3]

The church also holds regular community days to assist with a variety of social organisations, as they seek to put biblical principles into practice.

In addition to the Auckland branch, CIC also built a new 1,800 seat campus in Mt. Wellington in 2010 (where there are now plans to expand the 1,800, to about 2,500 (add 500 additional seating due to the rapid growth of the church community), which CIC now has two Auckland campuses. Mt Wellington campus hosts services at 6pm on Saturdays and 10am and 7pm on Sundays. CIC also has a network of churches in the South Island of New Zealand. These are located in Queenstown, Invercargill, Balclutha, as well as an overseas church in Fredericton, Canada and one in Tonga (that was recently rebuilt and developed in 2010 by teams formed by the Church (voluntary).
