Join Faith@Home   The Faith@Home network is offering a special rate to NZ Baptist churches for web access to continually updated articles, blogs, webinars and podcasts from leading authors and practitioners. Partner churches can also add these channels to their own websites: • F@H Moms
• F@H Dads
• F@H Parents of Teenagers

Faith@Home has also created three church leader channels with content and ideas from other church leaders, authors and practitioners. Staff from partner churches gain access to continually updated content on the following channels:
"F" is for "friend" The Baptist Churches of New Zealand facebook page began as a way to give and receive quick updates from Christchurch following February's earthquake. The updates are less frequent now, but the page is still there.

Why are we on facebook, when we have a perfectly good website? Because facebook is an instant way to communicate with those of you who join our network and – best of all – it's not a one-way conversation. The page is a great forum for those who have shared comments, pictures, videos and links from around the country. You're not just communicating with us; you're communicating with each other.

This course is for pastors who have fairly recently come into the Baptist context i.e. they have not studied at Carey Baptist College and they have not been pastoring in a Baptist church for very long. The course is a way of introducing these pastors to the support available to them from the Baptist Union. It also provides a wonderful networking opportunity with other new pastors.

Attendance at the course is a requirement for provisional registration for those new to the Baptist movement. (The other requirement is a Baptist Distinctives reading course. These two requirements can be spread over the two-year period of provisional registration, so one per year.)

As the course is a registration requirement and as travel from the South Island can be expensive, we are offering to cover airfares for South Island attendees. To take advantage of cheap fares we will need to book flights well in advance of the course, so the airfare subsidy offer only extends to 31 March 2012. Please register by that date, and advise us of travel requirements so we can book the flights at the cheaper rates.

The attached PDF has editable fields. Complete your details and print off, then either post the form to us or scan and email.

This move aims to strengthen the capacity of the regions in order to maximise our effectiveness as a missional movement. It is also precipitated by fiscal restraints – there's less discretionary money in the pockets of our congregations; many churches are challenged by less giving; there...

your shadowed lives will be bathed in sunlight. I will always show you where to go.
I’ll give you a full life in the emptiest of places - firm muscles, strong bones.
