Welcome to
Matua Community Baptist Church
We hope you will join us for a Sunday celebration to see for yourself what
we are about. Through worship and practical, biblical messages, we present
the ageless truths of the Bible. Our services are presented in a relaxed,
informal style which we are sure you’ll find easy to receive.
We are located in the Matua primary school hall for our 10.00 am Sunday
service and at 9.30 am in our lounge in the Matua shopping centre for our
Wednesday traditional service.
If you have children our exciting children’s programmes run in parallel
with our 10.00 am service. After the service we have refreshments and a
time of mixing and mingling.
Enclosed on this site is information regarding the many ministries of our
Church. If you would like to know more about our programmes or
community activities please give any one of us a call on 576 3743.
May God bless you.
Pastors Sue and Roger Wilks
