Throughout Aotearoa New Zealand, there are around 250 Baptist faith communities (local churches, etc.), as well as a few overseas that include New Zealanders.

In the 2023 New Zealand Census, 31,737 people wrote the word ‘Baptist’ as their Religious Affiliation, and we know from our own 2024 data that about 27,000 people are present at Baptist church services around the county each Sunday. These people and these churches are connected together in what we call a union or collective, hence our name: The Baptist Union of New Zealand.

In the map below, you can look for a Baptist church or faith community near you and contact them directly. You can find out what Sunday services and other events they have and how they serve people in their local communities, such as programmes and groups for children, youth groups, older people, op shops, etc.
