Pleroma Christian Supplies 2.76

‘Pleroma Christian Supplies’ is a wholesale and retail shop open to the public Mon-Fri, based in Otane, NZ.

The word ‘Pleroma’ itself means:

n. ‘to make whole again’,
n. ‘the fullness of Christ made visible’
Origin: from Greek [pleroma]: that which fills Biblical Reference: Ephesians 1:23

Initially we opened in a town called Waipawa, in Central Hawke's Bay on the 1st of May 1978. In those days we were called Pleroma Books and were a very small, volunteer operated local service. The local Christian community, through a debenture issue, enabled us to purchase our first building, the former Herald Tribune Offices in the Waipawa High St. The business continued to grow but road widening plans forced a move to a new building in Otane. In 2004 we built a substantial new addition that now houses our showroom.

The original Otane building has now been completely renovated in the last year and houses the Social Service side of Pleroma who provide support to individuals and families in and around Central Hawke’s Bay. The services offered include social work, counselling and group programmes with most of these being free of charge.

Our store has also been extended out the back where our warehouse and offices are now situated.

Pleroma Christian Supplies represents within New Zealand some 65 overseas publishing houses covering a wide variety of Christian literature, devotional aids and music. We sell directly to individuals, parishes, diocesan organisations and schools. We currently employ 10 staff members so say hello to us online or in person!

Both Pleroma Christian Supplies and Pleroma Social Services are non-profit organisations, registered with the NZ Charities Commission.
