What is St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on about?
At St Andrew’s we want to be a ‘loving community who know Jesus and make him known’.
We seek to do this by:
- Trusting Jesus as our saviour and the ruler of our lives
- Listening to and following God’s word: the Bible
- Loving those around us deeply
- Seeking to grow as followers of Jesus
- Sharing the good news about Jesus to our friends, families and community
What is a Presbyterian Church?
Being Presbyterian means that we are all about the Bible and the gospel of Jesus. We believe the Bible is God’s very own word to us and we believe that the good news of what Jesus has done changes everything. As Presbyterians we hold to the Westminster confession of faith as a summary of what we believe the Bible says. Find out more about what we believe.
How do you cater for a family?
We love having families as part of our community at St Andrew’s. We have a great Kid’s Bible Time program for primary school kids and a creche on Sunday mornings during our 10:30 service.
We have a Playgroup on Thursday mornings. Our Primary school aged kids are encouraged to go along to Explorers and Adventure Club during the week and we are also part of a combined Pressy Youth Group on Friday nights along will Willow’s and North Shore Presbyterian Churches.
All our kids and youth leaders are blue card and child safety accredited and totally committed to seeing our church be a family friendly, welcoming and safe space.
What can I expect a normal Sunday service to be like?
At every Sunday service we read the Bible, we pray (talk to God), we sing, we listen to someone explain the Bible, and we have morning tea together afterwards where we encourage one another and talk about life and what we heard in the service. Our 9am service is a bit more traditional with Hymns played on the organ. Our 10:30 service has a Kid’s Talk and has a more contemporary vibe.

Do I need to be a Christian to come to church? Am I too dodgy to come to church?
You might have heard or even said, “The roof might fall in if I ever went into church.” But one of the most fundamental truths that the Bible teaches is that everyone is a sinner. Everyone is dodgy, no one has lived up to God’s standards. As Christians we believe that we are all broken sinners whose only hope is to be saved by the free gift of God. That means that anyone and everyone can come to church, because we are all in the same boat. We don’t want to pretend that we have it all together, we are all broken messy people at varying stages on our spiritual journeys. We want everyone to come along and hear the good news that Jesus has for people like us. We promise the roof won’t collapse. Read more about the good news of Jesus.
