Who we endeavour to be

Mount Albert Baptist Church (MABC) is a multi-cultural group of all ages and stages of faith, centrally located in Auckland with a congregation of over 300.  We invite people to come as they are and to be transformed by Jesus.  We like to engage with the world around us so that others can experience God’s love. We have strong connections with overseas missions and aim to work with our local community with activities like ESOL, Alpha, 24-7 at the local high school and our Global Cafe Nights where we celebrate other cultures.  Our church has a passion for seeking to understand God’s word and growing children’s and young people’s ministries.
