Baptist Registration
APPLICATIONS TO REGISTER ARE NOW CLOSED
We will open again on 1st November 2025 for the 2026 registration period.
If you are required to have Baptist Registration for your role, please contact your Regional Leader.
Baptist Registration is available to all those who are ministering within, or on behalf of a Baptist faith community, or Baptist entity, or an approved body, and who fulfil certain requirements.
Registration is an endorsement that as a registrant, you are committing to the ongoing development of character, knowledge and abilities which are deemed necessary to minister in the name of the Baptist Union of New Zealand and you are willing to uphold our core distinctives and values as New Zealand Baptists (as included in the Baptist Union of New Zealand Constitution and Baptist Administration Manual). It is open to all who meet the criteria regardless of your ministry type or function within the recognised categories of Baptist Registration.
