St Isaacs is a small rural Anglican church that first opened on 11 August 1898. While it remains under the guidance of the Anglican Diocese, day‑to‑day care and maintenance were handed back to the descendants of Eru and Te Tawaka in the 1980s. A large memorial to Tupuna Eru and Te Tawaka, who gifted the land, stands in the urupā beside the church.
The marae and church have separate committees.
Monthly services continue, and the venue is available for hire.
