Summer Series
Christmas Day Service
This year the calendar throws up a little oddity. Christmas is on a Sunday. So we get to gather in our regular rhythm. So to help with the consistency our service will begin at:
10:00 am , at Kaiapoi Baptist Church, 67 Fuller Street, Kaiapoi

We are back!
The Combined Churches of Kaiapoi are excited to once again host Carols in the Park. As always it is at Trousselot Park, Charles Street Kaiapoi. Bring a Picnic Tea and your singing voice.
Sunday December 18th 5pm
