About Us
We are a family of Christian people who are upholding the Scriptures as God's Word; we proclaiming Jesus Christ and the glories of His Kingship.
God called His Church in Jesus Christ before the foundations of the earth was formed to be holy in Him. He adopted His children through Jesus Christ not because any of them deserved it; He did so because He had pleasure in doing so. His purpose with the Church is that it will praise the glories of His grace (Ephesians 1:3-10).
Our prayer at St Andrews is that God will teach us to praise the glories of His grace, and that He will add to His Church those He ordained to eternal life. May He use us to do good works in Jesus Christ to accomplish His holy purposes by being faithful witnesses of His grace!
Our aim is to be a W.E.L.L. church:
W - Worship > We desire to worship God His way
E - Evangelism > We desire to reach out to the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ
L - Loving > We desire to love and care for one another as Christ loves us and cares for us
L - Learning > We desire to be equipped from the Word of God to become mature in Christ, fit for service to one another and the wider world.
St Andrews is a presbyterian church > Elders (presbyters) have the task of ruling the church.
St Andrews is a reformed church> We adhere to the understanding of the Scriptures as did the reformers in the 16th century when the Reformation took place.
We strongly believe that all believers are in some way gifted by the Holy Spirit to contribute to the work and functioning of the church as a body.
St Andrews is a branch of the Presbyterian Church of Australia (PCA), resort under the State Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Queensland, and is under the jurisdiction of the Presbytery of North Queensland.
We adhere to the Bible as the supreme standard of life and faith. The Bible is the Word of God, and as such it is infallible and inerrant. Our understanding of the Bible is contained in the Westminster Confession of Faith.
