Our Beginning

Our Baptist community began here in Masterton in 1943. The very first wedding held in our church was in 1943 between a young American Marine stationed here in Masterton and a young local nurse. Since then we have faithfully served our local community and sought to be God's witnesses here in this place.

Today we are a vibrant community of faith that actively seeks to reach out to people with the love of Jesus.

Our Mission

Our church exists to reach out to people with the love of Jesus and make disciples. 

We believe in the Bible as God's word, mankind's source of wisdom and inspiration, our guide to faith and practice.

We are a spirit filled church that believes in the use of the spiritual gifts today to build and edify the church.

We are church that seeks to reach out to our local community whether they have been here for a long time or whether they are new to the area and indeed new to the country. We are a welcoming home for the aliens and the widows and the orphans as Jesus intended us to be.
