Waikanae Baptist Opportunity Shop is an op shop at 8 Mahara Place in Waikanae, on the Kāpiti Coast, run for the Waikanae Baptist Church. Jean Preen set it up to raise funds for a recognised Baptist church in Waikanae, and it began trading on 5 December 1977. The website says the shop still supports the church's work, along with local communities and organisations further afield. Its funding is decided at two rounds a year, one in May and one in November, and there are two funding categories: local causes in the Kāpiti area, and mission work.
Shoppers can also buy from the shop's TradeMe listings, which the website says are kept off the premises to avoid double selling. To view an item listed on TradeMe, visitors speak to the shop manager. The church was founded in the mid 1970s and built on Te Moana Road by 1980, and the website describes the shop as one of the ways the church is active in the community. The shop's role in the church's own history gives its funding a clear purpose.
