Welcome to Rotorua Baptist Church

100 Malfroy Road


"A new way of living". 
We invite you to be part of our story. This is your place.

 

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. 

YOU ARE WELCOME:

  • If you are a couple, single, widowed, divorced, mature in age or young at heart,  this is the place for you. We have many ministries and life groups to suit. 
  • If you are a family, with restless babies, excited toddlers or energetic teenagers this is the place for you - we have  fun kids and youth programmes including creche with caring helpers, toys and  activities. 
  • If you are mature in faith or brand new to faith or not even sure where you are on your faith journey, this is the place for you. We love to explore the  big questions in life together and journey beside you.
  • If you are a tradie, a business professional, a cleaner, a nurse, an artist, a forestry worker, a student, retired, full time parent, self-employed, unemployed and everything in-between, this is the place for you. We are richer for our diversity. 
  • If you are inked, pierced, both or neither, we welcome you. If you like wearing high-heels or prefer gumboots, shirt and tie or just your favourite  old  t-shirt and jeans, we welcome you.
  • 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 just as you are.

This website is only a snapshot of who we are and what is important to us. If you have any questions or would like to chat, please contact us via phone, email or catch up with us after a Sunday service.

There is space for YOU in our whare karakia (Church).

 "Our goal is to be a Church that is authentic, caring and welcoming for all".
