Welcome to HTT
Holy Trinity Tauranga is a constantly developing church that celebrates a diversity of ages, interests and cultures. We have a variety of worship styles that range from quiet contemplation to noisy, enthusiastic celebration. We aim to be a place where the hurting, the lost, the lonely, can find forgiveness, love, acceptance and hope. We don't try to be these things to be socially attractive to boost numbers. We are becoming this kind of community because it is the kind of church Jesus Christ built with his original disciples. We hope that by being part of the life of our church you will find it to be on a journey to that end.
