Some General Background

Tasman Bible Church is an independent, self-governing congregation, but we affirm the Biblical requirement and expectation of cooperation with other orthodox believers for the presentation and propagation of the faith, and for the building up of the Body of Christ.

Elders are appointed as primary leaders of the congregation for the church’s spiritual and operational well-being. The elders are to function as willing shepherds (Pastors), and are to lead the fellowship toward spiritual maturity by means of personal example and sound teaching. Others in the church also share in the tasks of ministry in the congregation alongside the elders, each one serving in order to bring glory and honour to the name of Christ.

While we appreciate our current church traditions, we also recognise that culture is fluid and must adapt over time. With this in mind we endeavour to cultivate an atmosphere of intergenerational respect and tolerance in matters that relate to cultural expression of the Christian faith.
