Welcome to the official Website of the Ratana Established Church of New Zealand 2003, aimed at making available online historical and theological history of Ratana Movement and the Ratana Church to all Morehu and other parties interested in T.W.Ratana twent year ministry.

The Website was designed by Arahi .R. Hagger. The information for the website was gathered and sorted by the members of Uri Whakatupuranga, Puawai Hagger, Tracey Hancy, Kereama Pene, Ruia and Ranea Aperahama, Arahi Hagger. On the 8th November 2003, the Ratana Archive Research Centre was spiritually opened, and the release of the Official Ratana Church Website was launched. The trial run for the website will enable the Morehu to access information about their Maramatanga (Enlightenment), in chronological format the history about the early days of the Ratana Movement and the Ratana Church. This will allow each individual to understand Tahupotiki Wiremu Ratana's Mantle he undertook as Te Mangai, and Piri Wiri Tua in his twenty year ministry. Many stories will unfold, but the legacy of this Maramatanga will always endure to the end of time.
