Te Awamutu Baptist Church (TABC) is a vibrant community of believers seeking to glorify God through worship, service, and discipleship. Situated in the heart of the Waikato region, TABC has a long-standing presence in Te Awamutu, contributing meaningfully to the spiritual and social fabric of the community. We aim to be a Christ-centered, Spirit-led church that actively lives out God’s love in our neighbourhoods and beyond. ‘Because of His great love’ (Ephesians 2:4), we believe in ‘Praying without Ceasing’, Intergenerational Family’, and ‘Making Disciples’.

TABC is a multigenerational church with a rich diversity of members across different age groups and stages of life committed to ministry that serves its members and reaches the broader community. We regularly have 150 people, including children, attending a Sunday Service and have 108 members.

The Pastor will be a person who is a born again Christian who desires to be a part of us, to become one with us, to meet us where we are and move forward with us. With the recognition that the Pastor cannot be all things to all people, the Te Awamutu Baptist Church has outlined the following as important values and skills.
