Celebrate with us
The St Andrew’s community gathers every Sunday at 10.00am.
Communion
We celebrate Communion on the first Sunday of the month (except January), on Maundy Thursday, Easter Sunday and Christmas Eve. St Andrew’s is an open community. Everyone is welcome to take part in Communion.
Where we come from
St Andrew’s theology is progressive and inclusive. Our Gatherings draw on a range of influences. We appreciate the riches of the ancient Celtic tradition. We embrace theological insights of the continually reforming Reformed tradition. In particular we follow the eight emphases of progressive Christianity.

We use contemporary prayers, poems and music from Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia. Some are created by our own minister and people.
Our Gatherings are works-in-progress. We strive to express faith and spirituality which are relevant to now, as well as honest to God, though their roots might be ancient.
We aim to unpack the ‘baggage’ which has gathered around words and customs in the Church. We want to sing and pray and speak in ways which fit this time and this place – 21st century Aotearoa New Zealand.
Lay people are actively involved. Each Sunday volunteers contribute by reading Bible and contemporary readings, talking with the children and preparing prayers of the people. Occasionally a group prepares and leads the service, often using creative and non-traditional forms of liturgy.
