North Porirua Baptist Church

 

Mission, Community, Spiritual Growth and Service are our four core values.  What we do and who we will become will be built on these values. Our objectives and values help us focus on the mission that is given to us by Jesus in the Bible.

We are a member of the Baptist family of churches in New Zealand; an evangelical community that holds to the following beliefs: The church is a community of those who believe in God the Father, in God the Son Jesus Christ and in God the Holy Spirit - one God; who are repentant of their sin and who have been saved by personal faith in Jesus Christ

The church is a community of those who believe in God the Father, in God the Son Jesus Christ and in God the Holy Spirit - one God; who are repentant of their sin and who have been saved by personal faith in Jesus Christ through his atoning death and resurrection; who publicly proclaim their faith and are committed to the church's vision, aims and functions.

The church believes in:

  • The true humanity and deity of the Lord Jesus Christ.
  • The atonement made on the cross by our Lord for the sin of the world.
  • The person of the Holy Spirit as the one who sanctifies and who sets apart, empowers and imparts spiritual gifts to the church.
  • Salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ alone.
  • The inspiration of the Bible and its authority in all matters of faith and practice.
  • Membership of the church is for those who have received salvation.
  • The priesthood of all believers.
  • The immersion of believers as the only scriptural form of baptism.
