Hamilton Central Baptist Church.
We have been serving the Kirikiriroa Hamilton community since 1906.
Hamilton Central Baptist Church is a vibrant and welcoming community of believers who consider Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
Our church family is diverse in background and experience, united by a shared faith and commitment to following Him.
We strive to be a spiritual home for everyone, fostering meaningful connections, accountability, and mutual support as we journey together in faith.
We offer a range of ministries and activities designed to nurture spiritual growth, strengthen relationships, and serve our wider community.
From engaging Kids Corner sessions and dynamic youth programs to tailored support groups like Men’s, Women’s, and Seniors Hubs, there’s something for everyone.
We also provide practical resources like financial advice and Alpha Courses for those exploring faith, all while building deeper connections over designer coffee and snacks after each service.
Hamilton Central Baptist Church (HCBC) is seeking a full-time Mission Leader/ Pastor to partner with us as we discover and live out the next chapter of God’s will for our church and its people.
Our Vision
We have committed to being a Church that depends on the Holy Spirit, submits to one another, demonstrates humility, are passionate servants of the gospel and speaks the truth in love.
Even though HCBC has a long history, our mission remains unchanged – to go and make disciples. In doing so, working together with our Mission Leader/ Pastor, we aspire to discern and move into the future that God has for us, using the giftings that God has given our Church to look outwards and help spread His kingdom.
Who We Are
HCBC is a metropolitan church with a wide demographic. Our core values include being an authentic community, accepting biblical authority, local and global mission, being active in service and having a deep relationship with God.
