Founded in 1990 the Narre Warren Baptist Church initially operated under a different name. It began as the Narre Hills Family Church a collaborative effort between the Blackburn Baptist Church now Crossway Baptist Church and the Baptist Union of Victoria. A few years later the church was renamed Berwick Community Baptist Church. The current building opened its doors on February 20 2005. This wasn’t just an opening it was a significant milestone for the community.

This partnership reflected the church’s growing multicultural identity. The two churches worked together for several years. Then on January 1 2009 they officially merged forming the Berwick and Nazaret Baptist Church. This new name however proved temporary.
