Holy Word Church of Auckland

Soon they outgrew this space. The congregation borrowed a music room at Wakaaranga Primary School. Fellowship meetings continued at Pastor Man’s home. The first official service was in the school hall. The church’s rapid growth was evident. A first baptism occurred at Howick Baptist Church in 1994. Ten believers were baptized that day.
