NATIONAL CENTRE
who are we?
Our role is to provide essential support and resources for our church staff. The main areas of support are administration and finance, and we provide documentation and advice to make the management of our churches run smoothly. We provide resources regarding personnel advice, building compliance and management, keeping people safe, insurance cover, the Baptist Superannuation Scheme, and staff and church benefits. We also provide meeting rooms at the Baptist Resource Centre for pastoral staff and Baptist ministry partners to meet. In addition, National Resource Centre staff are involved with the management of our conferences, including LEAD and Hui, as well as providing administrative services for the national meetings such as Assembly Council and Regional Missional Leaders. The National Resource Centre interacts with all groups of the Baptist family, including the Regional Associations, NZBMS, and Carey Baptist College. We are always available—give us a call, email, or skype! Daniel Palmer | daniel.palmer@baptist.org.nz +64 9 526 0337 | baptist.org.nz
CAN YOU HELP? Right now thousands of disadvantaged children in Eastern Europe are hoping to get to one of our life-changing Summer Camps. It takes from just $20 (one day of camp for one child) to help change a young life forever.
Could you donate to help one child get there? For more and to donate, go online to

At BCFM, our role is to inspire, equip, and support churches as they seek to do both ministry and mission with children and families. Our emphasis is on seeing churches develop strong foundations on which to develop ministry that is tailored to fit their context. We are passionate about seeing churches become missional communities with children at the centre. Children are our taonga, our treasure, that God calls us to nurture in the faith and release to a life of service with him. To this end, we offer training for both volunteers and paid staff, and have a variety of resources available to help churches take their ministry from good to great! Our Regional Coaches also offer local networking, training, and consultancy services. We love to come alongside churches as they seek to do ministry and mission with excellence.
