Welcome to Rotorua Baptist Church

100 Malfroy Road

 A NEW WAY OF LIVING.

Your place to gather, connect, grow and thrive. A place where hope is found and lives are transformed.

One thing we know about Church, it is not a building - it is the people. And people are precious. We are a group of people of all ages, life and faith stages, ethnicities and backgrounds. We are committed to our community and beyond. We enjoy being together and are continually growing - sharing our talents, learning from each other and growing closer to Jesus as we do life together and reach out to others. 

Our goal is to be an all age, family-orientated Church that is safe, caring, welcoming and loving for all. A space to be you, a space to explore the big questions in life, to find hope and live transformed lives. A space where we value the word of God and worship together. A space to experience the power of prayer.  A space to connect, belong and thrive. 

A space to experience a new way of living.

YOU ARE WELCOME

If you are a family, with restless babies, excited toddlers or energetic teenagers this is the place for you - we have a fun kids programme for all ages (including Youth) and creche with caring helpers, toys and  activities.

If you are nailing life or struggling, hurting or happy, able to give support or needing extra support, this is the place for you. We care for each other and love to help each other grow and thrive.

Come as you are.
