Welcome to PAIHIA

The name PAIHIA comes from a combination of Maori “pai” and English “here”. When the missionary the Reverend Henry Williams saw the quiet bay he exclaimed “here is a good place.”

Paihia Baptist Church

Last Saturday, October 27, was the WOMEN CONNECT ANNUAL RETREAT 2018 at the PAIHIA BAPTIST CHURCH.

I caught a ride and spend most of the day at Russell.

When the Reverend Henry Williams said, “here is a good place,” he was actually selecting a locality for a Church Missionary Society Mission Station. (“Here is a good place” for a Church Missionary Society Mission Station.)
