Location

The Auckland Baptist Tabernacle is in the heart of Auckland City, located at 429 Queen Street, just below the junction with Karangahape Road.  Browse the map below for directions.

Parking

Parking is available at the rear of the church.  Access is via the driveway to the right of the Tabernacle.  Please follow the traffic signals.

How does it work on Sunday?

There is no charge for parking on Sunday.

On Sunday the barrier arms will be up, allowing people attending church to freely enter and exit without charge.  Follow the directions of the parking marshals who will be wearing yellow vests.

Extra parking is available at the Mercury Lane car park, accessible via Mercury Lane. The Sunday rate is reduced.  Parking is also available at 20 Upper Queen Street.

How does it work during business hours?

The parking equipment is similar to other car parks in the city.  You take a ticket from the machine when you arrive which raises the barrier arm. When you come to leave, you pay to get your ticket validated before returning to your car.  In our case the pay station is the church office.  Once validated you put your ticket into the machine as you exit, and this raises the barrier arm.

What if I come to the church for a meeting during business hours?

Take a ticket as if you were coming into any public car park. Park in the spaces marked "Church Visitors" on the lower level (B2). Report to church office with carpark number and car registration number. Before you leave get your ticket validated in the church office for no charge and exit as normal.

What if I come to a church meeting outside of business hours?

Again, take a ticket that raises the barrier arm as you enter. Before you leave validate your ticket at the machine which is situated outside the office next to the church kitchen on Level 2. There is no charge. You may park anywhere.

What if I use the car park during business hours for other than church activities?

You will be required to pay the standard fee based on the length of time parked.

What happens if my car is locked in overnight?

Either come back the next day or contact the after hours number to have the barrier arm raised for you. This will incur a fee of $40 which you will need to pay in advance. Please contact the after hours number in either situation.

Can I drop people off in the driveway prior to going into the car park?

Very definitely NO! This has caused several near misses as following cars are unable to fully enter the driveway and have almost been collected by cars coming down Queen Street. A towaway company has full authority to tow all cars in the driveway.

REMEMBER the four simple steps when using the car park at any time:

- Follow the arrows.

- Stop at the double line.

- Wait for the lights to turn green (at night, this raises the roller door).

- Put your ticket into the machine at the barrier arm to raise the barrier
