People
We are a Baptist Church, with congregational governance. This means the church members are responsible to govern the church under Christ. At our AGM we elect a leadership team of Chairperson, Treasurer, Secretary, and Deacons to serve terms of one or two years, giving oversight and fulfilling many practical tasks. We have a full time minister, a part time youth pastor, and a part time administrator.
We welcome participation and input into decision making of all who are committed to the life and witness of Ponsonby Baptist Church. There are some decisions that can only be made by members. This is a requirement of our constitution. People apply to become members, are warmly interviewed about their life, faith and commitment to the church, and are then voted in by the members of the church.
