Life Groups
“Sharing Life in the Way of Christ”
 
Life Groups are one of the primary ways we connect with one another and grow in our faith here at TBC— these groups are the ‘families’, within our wider church whanau, who share life (fellowship), learn to become more like Jesus (discipleship), and serve the community of Taupo together (mission).
 
We have a diverse range of Life Groups with different flavours, and it is our hope that everyone who calls TBC home finds a Life Group that is right for them.
 
Below is a list of our current Life Groups.  If you would like to check one of them out, please feel free to email one of the leaders or contact Mike Bloore (Assistant Pastor) on mike@taupobaptist.org.nz if you would like to know more details about our Life Groups.
