Opawa
Baptist
Church
Our church is friendly and welcoming, with a current membership of ~50 people, located in suburbs of Waltham. We encourage spiritual growth with various home groups meeting during the week.
We partner with those serving God both at home and around the globe. We work alongside the Baptist mission organization Tranzsend, supporting families working in Asia to provide hope and healing to those in need.
Opawa Baptist Church’s purpose, in common with every Christian church, is to be the junior partner in God’s mission of —
saving a people;
transforming us into God’s likeness;
and drawing us into the loving life of God.
Meet the team
Opawa Baptist Church is located in Waltham, Christchurch. We're doing our best to love those in our local community, our neighbours, the streets we live in, our workmates and anyone else we meet.
We are an open membership church and a member of the Baptist Churches of New Zealand.
Rod,
senior pastor
Rod has been at Opawa since 2016 as our interim pastor, and was formally called to be our Pastor at the beginning of 2018. This is his third pastorate and he loves his role here. He is particularly attached to our Espresso machine and can make a mean cup of coffee. Trust Rod to know all the best coffee café’s in town.
