The Oldest Presbyterian Congregation In Auckland
We date our beginnings from 4th May 1847. Construction of the Church building commenced in December of that year. The Church finally opened for public worship on 7th April 1850 and we have been worshipping here every Sunday since then. St. Andrew’s comprises of English and Indonesian speaking components with separate language services available for each group. We come from all over the greater Auckland area because we find a special ministry here in this place along with a warm and caring fellowship.
