Can a church have two histories? South Auckland Bible Church seems to. This church, also known as Auckland Bible Church, has a history that intertwines with another congregation, Ngaire Avenue Bible Church. Auckland Bible Church itself was established in 1991. Their initial focus was on teaching and preaching from the Bible. The church held services in various locations around Greenlane, Penrose, and Epsom before settling into their current purpose-built auditorium at 300 Great South Road in 2010. An interesting piece of their history is the planting of an independent church in 2004, Botany Life, later renamed Summit Church, Botany. This demonstrates their commitment to spreading their message and supporting new communities of faith. The story takes another turn in 2020 when Auckland Bible Church merged with Ngaire Avenue Bible Church (NABC). NABC, founded in 1883 in Parnell, brought its own rich history. It later moved to 3 Ngaire Avenue in 1925 where a chapel was built. This church had a long tradition of both church planting and supporting missionaries. The merger of these two congregations, each with a distinct past, created the South Auckland Bible Church. They combined their resources and commitment, believing they could achieve more together. This union allowed existing ministries to grow and new ones to flourish, all under their shared values and mission.
