Pastor Dale Brown: “I trusted Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour in 1976 in my last year of high school. After attending the University of Michigan for three years, the Lord called me into full-time ministry. I immediately transferred to Arlington Baptist College and graduated in 1982. I was the associate pastor at a Baptist church in Texas from 1982-1988.
Our family took a trip to New Zealand in 1988. The Lord used that trip to speak to my heart about being involved in Gospel ministry in New Zealand. We arrived in Wellington in 1991 where we have lived up to the present time.
The Lord blessed me with the wonderful privilege of founding the Community Baptist Church in Porirua, Wellington in 2004. I love preaching and teaching the Word of God to this wonderful congregation of believers. The church has a great vision for the future and is committed to carrying out the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) of our Lord until He comes again.
I would like to invite anyone viewing our website to come visit us in person. Be assured you will find a warm welcome. We desire to be a blessing to our community in every way possible.” By HIS grace & for HIS glory, Pastor Dale Brown
Ocean: “Kia ora. I asked Jesus Christ into my heart and life when I was 16 years old, on an ISCF bike camp in Nelson and Golden Bay. God led me to Bible Baptist Church of West Wellington a couple of years later and I was baptized into the family – I’ve been serving and worshipping Him with the Baptist family ever since. I’ve tried lots of new things by being in service to God like teaching, making movies, leading singing and learning how to play the piano (I’m still a beginner!). My Maker has blessed the professional areas of my life by putting the Saviour first in these things. Kororia ki tona ingoa.”
Andrei: “I was lead to salvation at summer camp in the beginning of January 2001, by Pastor Hastings, in the same evening the sermon that was preached at camp, got me scared so I went to my mum and said I dont know if I am saved. I was unsure and I didnt have peace. So, we called Pastor Hastings into the cabin and that night I accepted Jesus into my heart. My ministry in the church is teaching the youth and part of the tech group. I choose to use my talents for the Lord, so it doesn’t go to waste. Everything for Him. I also use my gift of dancing for God :)”
