Kia ora!

Welcome to Royal Oak Baptist Church

Nau Mai, Haere Mai

We’re a local community of ordinary people learning to follow Jesus together — in our everyday lives, our neighbourhood, and our world.

Whether you’re exploring faith, returning to church, or have been following Jesus for years, you are welcome here.

We don’t expect you to have it all figured out.
We’re learning to listen to God, care for one another, and put our faith into practice.

Join us at 10am on Sunday

You can wear whatever you feel comfortable in.

You won’t be asked to speak or participate unless you want to.

Some weeks look a little different, sometimes we might pray more or discuss in small groups around tables, but each week we gather to centre ourselves on Jesus together.

Life Together

Church is more than what happens on Sunday. We’re learning to follow Jesus in the ordinary stuff of life — through shared meals, prayer, small groups, conversations about faith, caring for one another, and serving our local community.

There are different ways to get involved, and you don’t need to be a particular kind of person or have everything sorted out. Come as you are, find your place, and take part at your own pace.

We seek​ the transforming work​ of Christ’s gospel; in us, our whānau,​ our community, and our world.
