Who we are
Our Vision
We strive to Live like Jesus
Jesus is our ultimate role model so we acknowledge him as Lord of our life. Because of this we believe that wholehearted submission to God's will and His word is the starting point of the Christian faith and the foundation of all spiritual growth.
Our desire is to Love without Measure
We exist to share the life and love of Jesus with others who want to know about him and help grow fully devoted followers of Jesus. We acknowledge that being in community is an integral part of being a Christian. We want to be a people of Grace and follow the words of Micah 6:8 - To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with our God.
We recognise that together we are on a journey and need to Learn our Faith.
There is nothing comfortable about the bible, nothing easy about our faith. We should never cease to question the bible or be questioned by it. For most, understanding our faith is, and should be, a struggle because it challenges every part of our being. Let's learn our faith together.
We want to Lead to make a difference.
We believe that every follower of Jesus is called to mission. We as a church strive to be intentional about sharing our personal spiritual journeys with those outside the church. This means the focus of the church is not so much on what goes on inside the building on a Sunday, but what our people are doing throughout the week.

Otumoetai Baptist Church History
OBC has always had a huge vision. It began back in 1953, when a Sunday school of up to 60 children was started in a local garage. The church itself was established in 1958.
Like any church it has had its ups and downs but it has always had a call and vision to make a difference in our community and around the world.
Over the years OBC has impacted many lives, planted several churches and sent numerous missionaries all over the world. These people are now in turn impacting the lives of many others.
While we celebrate the past and all that God has done, and how he has used us, we are very much aware that we have a huge responsibility as we look to the future. We hope that you might be part of that future too.

Empower me
Empower me to be a bold participant, rather than a timid saint in waiting; to exercise authority of honesty, rather than to defer to power or deceive to get it; to influence someone for justice, rather than impress anyone for gain; and by grace, to find treasures of joy, of friendship, of peace hidden in the fields you give me daily to plow.
