About us
Wilson Street was established in 1914 on the current site as Timaru Baptist Church. While the beginnings were modest there was significant growth from the 1950’s through to today. The 50th Jubilee celebrations in 1964 highlighted the many ministry and mission activities that had shaped the first 50 years. Wilson Street has been home to a wide variety of people, always with a leaning towards children’s and youth work. Historically, Boys and Girls Brigade feature strongly along with social groups for older folk and going back a way sports teams! Today we are a vibrant family church with young and old gathered together in worship and mission.
We are on a journey, we have history and we have a future – right now we are seeking to shape tomorrow by living well today.
“Live… a life Jesus will be proud of: bountiful in fruits from the soul; making Jesus Christ attractive to all, getting everyone involved in the glory and praise of God.”
(Philippians 1:11 The Message)
Over the next few Sundays (all Sundays in August) the theme will be ‘Let the Spirit Recalibrate’
