Partnering and serving the community are very highly valued at TBC. Below are just a few programmes that run regularly from the Church

Mainly Music

Each Thursday, Mainly Music meets at 10am for music and dance for pre-schoolers if you are interested email Jan Carey (Community Ministry Leader).

Major Community Project

Each year as a Church we partake in a major community project. This is an opportunity for us as a Church to serve the Taupo community. In the past we have rapid built a house with Habitat For Humanity and this year we built 50 community gardens throughout Taupo. All the supplies for these gardens were provided and the host families only had to agree to share the produce and work of the garden with at least one neighbour. Of the 50 gardens built, only 10 were hosted by Church families. This project will be followed up with a 'harvest festival in early 2010.
Thoughts are already being given to the 2010 community project.

Light Party

The Light Party is a safe fun alternative to Halloween. It runs from 6-8pm, with a wide range of games and stalls. Each year has a dress up theme, 2008 was 'Pirates and Princesses', 2009 's theme is 'Wild Wild West'. In previous years it has been run at Taupo Baptist with hundreds of 5-11 year olds attending (and many missing out due to limited spaces). This year the Light Party will run in two locations Taupo Baptist and Inspire Churches meaning many more will be able to come and enjoy a good fun night.
