OUR HISTORY
Rosedale is the result of a church plant around 55 years ago in the North Invercargill suburb of Hargest, with it's beginnings from a children's bible study.
You will now find us on the courner of Bourke and Exmouth Streets.
Our heritage is of Open Brethren roots and we are connected into the CCCNZ (Christian Community Churches New Zealand) church network.

Having joined the elders group in 2019, my wife Diane and I are involved in the life of Rosedale Bible Chapel. We also volunteer with Christian Books Melanesia (Papua New Guinea).
As a trustee of Christian Community Churches of New Zealand our Brethren heritage churches have a wonderful opportunity to grow and learn alongside one another.
Having four children and 7 grandchildren they also keep us busy.
My giftedness is in serving, governance, assisting, hospitality and encouragement.
