What to expect at church when you visit with us

You can expect to be warmly greeted by our welcomers. You will hear some prayers and some bible readings. You will be asked to stand if you are able to sing some songs or hymns.  We generally have a mixture of hymns and contemporary music. You will also hear a message from our pastor from the bible. After the service, in the hall behind the church, there is time for an opportunity to catch up, have a cuppa and perhaps a biscuit.

Communion and Baptism 

St Andrew's takes seriously the work of the gospel and the commands of the Lord Jesus Christ by regularly practising the sacraments of the church. 

Communion

St Andrew's recognises that the church ought to regularly conduct holy communion as Christ has directed the church to do so. 

​

Therefore, Session has agreed to conduct communion on the first Sunday of each alternative month.  Months where Communion is observed are February, April, June, August, October, & December. 

​

We would encourage all to come and join us in our short courses on communion. 

Baptism

St Andrew as a Reformed Church and committed to the Scriptures recognises that the Lord Jesus Commanded the church to baptise the nations in accord with Matthew 28:18-20. 

​

We believe that baptism is to be administered to those who are believers and to their children. We therefore practice biblical baptism of children. 

​

The elders of our Session according to their promises to the church will encourage parents to baptise their infants. 

​

We would encourage everyone to attend our short courses on baptism. 

Youth

Our Youth Meets on the third Friday of each month in the hall to talk about Jesus and have fun getting to know each other and participate in a variety of activities. 

It goes from 7pm - 9pm and supper is provided. 

​

We also have a youth service at the church once a month on the final Sunday in the month at 5 pm with dinner provided afterwards. 

Kid's Ministry

St Andrews values and appreciates children. We like to include them in as many ways as possible. During our church service we often have kid's talks. 

​

We also plan to run a Sunday school from 9:am to 9:45 each Sunday in the final term of the year. Ages from young to about 14 are welcome.
