Hastings Baptist Church

Our name gives you a pretty good idea of who we are.

HASTINGS

We have been in Hastings for over 100 years and we are committed to the good of our city and our community.

BAPTIST

Baptist churches are part of orthodox Christianity, keen for everyone to be a follower of
Jesus, and governed by committed members who serve together.

CHURCH

A community of ordinary Christian people who gather regularly, help each other grow in Christian faith, and work together to tell other people about Jesus.

Sunday Sermons

Every Sunday we gather to hear teaching from the Bible. We record our sermons each week so that you can catch up on any that you’ve missed.

What can I expect?

WHO?

Everyone is welcome on Sunday morning! You don’t have to be a Christian to come along. On a typical Sunday there will be small children, teenagers, adults and the elderly – men & women, boys & girls, a broad mix of ages and stages. Some have been coming to church their whole life – for others this might be their first church service.

WHAT?

We do the normal things in a Sunday church service: singing, praying, reading from the Bible, listening to a sermon. We greet new people and catch-up with old friends. We are a community of ordinary people who encourage each other to know and live for Jesus.

WHERE?

The corner of Karamu Road South & Lyndon Road.

(300 Karamu Road South, Hastings 4201.)

WHEN?

Sunday mornings at 10.00am. Our service runs for about 75 minutes and is followed by morning tea.
The children start in the main service and then move off to their own programme. Everyone finishes at the same time.

WEAR?

The dress code for Sunday morning is relaxed and informal – standard kiwi clobber is fine.

WEIRD?

We won’t embarrass you and you won’t be asked to do anything strange and unusual. We know that for new people “Sunday church” can be a foreign experience, so we’ll do our best to explain what’s happening.
