Who We Are and What We Believe
Helping people find and follow Jesus through Christ-centred community, worship, and service.
Who We Are
Central Baptist Church is a community of people centred on Jesus. We are located in the heart of Tauranga and exist to help people find and follow Him. Whether you’re exploring faith for the first time or have followed Jesus for years, you’re welcome here. Our church is a place where people of all ages and backgrounds can experience authentic community, meaningful worship, and Bible-based teaching that speaks to real life.
We’re passionate about building a church family that reflects God’s love, serves with compassion, and lives out the hope we have in Christ—both inside and outside the walls of the church.
Our Vision
To be a Christ-centred community helping people find and follow Jesus.
We long to see lives transformed by the power of the gospel and our city impacted through authentic faith and intentional mission. We believe God has placed us here to be a light in Tauranga—serving with love, standing in truth, and walking in step with the Holy Spirit.
We seek to grow as disciples of Jesus, living out our faith in everyday life and inviting others into the journey.
