The Render Gathering
Helping You Become

 

Who We Are

We are a multicultural Christian Church birthed in South Auckland New Zealand. We are part of the Baptist Churches of New Zealand. 

Rendering is a process of helping something become its true form, when we put this in the context of our name, it means we are Gathered people under God who exist for the purpose of helping people become.

The Church is made up of a Senior Leadership team, Team Leaders and members who make up the volunteer base.

“WE Believe…. In god the father. In his son jesus christ. And in the holy spirit- one god: Who are repentant of sin and have been saved by personal faith in jesus christ through his atoning death and resurrection.

All that god has purposed you to be.”
— What We Believe
 

VISION

We believe the greatest investment is in people. That means we have to develop them to help them become all God purposed them to be. Developing leaders, parents, spiritual growth, theology and relationships.

VALUEs

  • We’ll do whatever it takes to reach people for Jesus.

  • We will always give more than we have and more than what’s required.

  • We will recruit leaders, raise leaders and release them into the purpose God has intended for them.

  • We believe when it looks unbelievable, we take risks where others wont and we trust God for the outcomes others cannot see.

  • We celebrate who we have, and make our greatest effort to express who we are.

PRIORITIES

  • Your family is a priority for us. To support you, connect you in and make it a whole lot of Joy along the way.

  • We use Hangouts as our way of connecting with you and with those that are new to The Render Gathering. Hangouts are our onramp to connection and Leadership.

  • We believe that serving one another is the essence of strong communities and relationships. We serve by giving our best efforts, our most generous finances and our precious time.

  • We believe the greatest investment is in people. That means we have to develop them to help them become all God purposed them to be. Developing leaders, parents, spiritual growth, theology and relationships.

  • We are committed to the Bible and it’s teaching. The great commission, found in the book of Matthew 28 urges us to go out into the world and make disciples of all nations, baptizing and teaching people to obey his commands. We do this through Leadership, Mentoring and Bible Teaching groups and development pipeline.
