The Raukokore church was built by a Captain Stirling from hand sawed timber and if one looks closely at the exterior planks saw teeth marks can be seen.Until a few years it was very run down but the local Stirling marae raised money and had it restored so that now its well used for church services and weddings.
At the back is a well kept Maori Stirling family cemetery, where most headstones have photos of the deceased. If you visit which welcomed if you follow the local Maori custom washing your hands as you leave.
Back one kilometer north is the local marae which owns the church.
