Who we are

We believe that Community Independent Baptist Church has something special to offer to the people of Dunedin.

We would love to have you to visit with us. We offer a friendly, family-oriented church where you will always receive a warm welcome. Our desire is, by God's grace, to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind and to demonstrate that love by obeying His Word.

Our ministry is centered in teaching and preaching the Word of God effectively and pointing men to God's Truth and thereby strengthening believers in their daily Christian life.

We practice our Lord's command to preach the Gospel to every person, both locally in Dunedin and also abroad through our missions program, urging people to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and accept Him as their personal Saviour. (Matthew 28:19,20)

Community Independent Baptist Church of Dunedin is:

"For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake" (2 Corinthians 4:5)

Dunedin Community Baptist Church Q&A


Question: What should I expect if I attend a church service ?

Answer: On Sunday at 10:30 am we meet together for our Sunday Morning Service. The song portion of our service lasts for about 25 minutes, while the remainder of the time is spent listening to Bible preaching. Our service lasts approximately an hour.

Question: How big is your church ?

Answer: We are still a small church, but that means that everyone gets to know one another and you have people who are concerned about you and praying for you.

Question: What version of Bible the do you use ?

Answer: We teach and preach from the King James Bible. We love the Word of God and believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible. The Bible is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice. It should be studied, memorized, and most of all, practiced. We believe that the King James Bible, which is translated from the Hebrew Masoretic and Greek Received Text, is the most accurate and faithful translation and that it is the preserved Word of God in the English language. We reject all modern translations because they are based upon corrupt ancient manuscripts.

Question: What type of music can I expect to hear ?

Answer: We sing many of the traditional hymns and songs of the faith. While I would not describe our music as formal, we abstain from the contemporary rock style music. We regularly sing songs such as Amazing Grace, The Old Rugged Cross, There is Power in the Blood, To God Be the Glory, etc...

Question: What type of preaching will I hear ?

Answer: Preaching is the centre of the worship service. We believe that it is our responsibility to preach 'all the counsel of God.' (Acts 20:27) We do our best to make the Bible clearly understood, so you can apply the principles of the Scriptures to your life.
Our goal is that you will leave the service encouraged and with a desire to grow in your walk with the Lord.

Question: Who leads the church ?

Answer: Christ is the head of each true New Testament church and it is our responsibility to follow His teachings as they are found in the Scriptures. The Bible is thus our authority in all matters of faith and practice. God has given us a pastor to lead us to be obedient to Christ. He is assisted by the deacons of the church.

Question: What is an Independent Baptist Church ?

Answer: An Independent Baptist church is a Baptist church that has chosen not to be a part of any convention, association or union. Like thousands of other Independent Baptist churches across the world, each church governs itself solely under the authority of the Scriptures. This is the example that we see in the the Bible as each church was responsible directly to God, rather than an earthly headquarters. While our church operates as an independent church we work in fellowship with a number of other similar churches across New Zealand.

Because of worldiness and doctrinal errors, we do not associate with churches that are a part of the World Council of Churches, the National Council of Churches, the Charismatic Movement or any other apostate group.

Leader Bio:
Pastor Bob Rutta grew up in West Virginia in the U.S. He trusted Christ as his personal Saviour at eight years of age.

When he was 18 he surrendered to the Lord's call to the ministry and transferred from the state university that he was attending so he could begin his training at Bible College.

While in Bible College he met and married his wife Diana. During the time when Bob and Diana were engaged they felt the Lord's call to go to New Zealand for ministry.

Bob has served in full time ministry in New Zealand since 1988 - first planting a church in New Plymouth and then moving to Dunedin in 1998 to serve at Community Baptist Church.

Bob and Diana have four children: Robert Jr, Benjamin, Elisabeth, and Sarah.   Edit
