Welcome to Rotorua Baptist Church

100 Malfroy Road, ROTORUA

“GROWING THE KINGDOM through knowing Jesus and sharing His love"

A caring church led by the Spirit, passionate about Jesus, journeying together, and deeply connected to our community.

We invite you to be part of our story.

You Are Welcome

Whether you are single, married, widowed, divorced, young, or young at heart - there is a place for you here.

If you're raising busy toddlers or teenagers, we offer programmes for children and young people, including a crèche.

If you're exploring faith, new to church, deeply rooted, or unsure what you believe, you are welcome. We love walking alongside people as they ask life's big questions and discover the hope found in Jesus.

Whatever your occupation, background, style, or story, you belong here.

Whether you are thriving or struggling, full of faith or full of questions, needing support or ready to give it, there is room for you here.

Come as you are. Come prepared to be loved. 

“Everyone will know you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

 John 13:35
