Christian Superstore Timaru, 102 Stafford Street, Timaru:   We here at the Christian Superstore in Timaru continually offer praise and thanks for the wonderful support and prayers of the amazing community that we live   within.

We offer a range of resources to encourage and enhance the relationship between each other and God. We have a great range of Study guides and books that explore ways to witness to others.  Devotionals that offer daily encouragement and a great range of great priced Bibles for gifts.
