Rotorua
Welcome to Rotorua! Set in the beautiful Bay of Plenty, Rotorua is the premiere cultural centre for New Zealand and the site for the WCG annual festival for the last several years.
The Worldwide Church of God was established in Rotorua in 1981. Built initially on a magazine and booklet media base, the church has always sought to provide clear biblical underpinnings to our beliefs. In earlier years our denomination tended toward legalism but God in His mercy led us out of this and today we embrace His grace with joy.
Our congregation meets each Saturday at 10:30 am in the Buffalo Hall in Tarewa Place, which runs off Tarewa Road that links Pukuatua Street with Link Road. We have three parts to our church service: Praise, Prayer and Preaching, the three 'P's'. In our worship service we utilise a mix of contemporary and traditional music. It is not our practice to take up a weekly collection. Rather, our tradition is to take up an offering periodically at special times of worship.
