Churches, mosques, synagogues and other places of worship are getting personalised safety briefings from police as officers put away their guns.
Police are no longer required to be armed now the threat level has dropped to medium.
Police are delivering safety tips and going through emergency plans with religious organisations to ensure people are - and feel - safe when they pray.
It's been six weeks since the Christchurch mosque shootings and two weeks since the attacks on Christians in Sri Lanka.
The All Saints Anglican church in Palmerston North has recently been targeted by those with anti-Muslim views, pamphlets distributed saying things like "this is them versus us."
But the reverend is having none of it.
“We're learning about their faith just as their learning about us, so any material that undermines that and promotes any lies or myths, we won't tolerate that,” says Reverend Andy Hickman.
Police visited on Friday, bringing news the person responsible had been caught and spoken to.
At Wellington's Kilbirnie mosque, police are also giving guidance.
“Police will still provide us with some security once the month of Ramadan will start, while also we discussed how we can have our own systems ready as well,” says Tahir Nawaz, from the International Muslim Association of New Zealand.
This focus on safety is being viewed positively by an expert in the field of religion and security.
“That's a really healthy thing for New Zealand police to do. I think there are broader community concerns about what happened in Christchurch - and being able to reassure other religious communities of how they can be safe is really important,” says Dr Wil Hoverd of Massey University.
Another step closer to normal, ensuring religious communities have a safe place to pray.
