About us
Discover who we areSt Andrew’s on The Terrace is a lively and active faith community in central Wellington. Our community is committed to acting for a just and peaceful world and being a catalyst for discovery, compassion and celebration in the capital.
St Andrew’s is a place of refreshment for many people – those who come on Sunday or call in during the week for a quiet space in their busy day. In different ways it is a soul space for many.
Our aim
Is to create a lively, open Christian faith community, to identify a spirituality which ‘works’ in the 21st century, to act for a just and peaceful world.
We want to be catalysts for discovery, compassion and celebration in the capital
Catalyst
We aim to be active agents and facilitators of progressive spirituality and social justice.
Discovery
We aim to look for new understandings of ourselves, the society about us; to update theological meaning for our times and identify the purpose of being people of faith in this century.
Compassion
We aim to care for all of creation, our neighbours and ourselves; we lament with those who weep and keep vigil with those who wait.
Celebration

Capital
We aim to develop connections with international communities, government endeavour and the civic community.
