ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE
We are a church community made up of all ages, ethnicities and backgrounds.
Our people come from all over South Auckland, and love being together.
MCBC is a vibrant, alive, hope-filled community of people who love Jesus and love living out our faith. We are being transformed, being forgiven and growing in our faith together.
Getting together on Sundays, gathering for social events, and serving together is really important. We also want to have programmes and Life Groups that suit different ages, and stages of life. These programmes are great opportunities to meet others, develop life-long relationships and to help each other grow in faith.
We hope you feel welcome here at MCBC whether you visit for a morning or become a life long member.
OUR HISTORY
Our church began on the main street of Papatoetoe back in 1930. As our community has changed, the church has changed too, and our building is now based in the heart of Manukau.
While our community and the church have changed over nearly 100 years, our message and the good news of the gospel haven’t. We are still passionate about sharing that with our neighbours and beyond.
