About Us
Our mission is making disciples of Jesus Christ in community, for the community.
Our heart and passion is to care for the people of our beautiful town and to see them become disciples of Jesus Christ.
Our wider vision is global. God calls us to serve him beyond our ‘home’.
Our Church consists of two congregations, reflecting a traditional style of worship (9:00am) followed by a more family and contemporary style service (10:30am).
The Coastal Strip of the Mount and Papamoa is one of the fastest growing regions in New Zealand. We have to have a big vision. This region of New Zealand is expected to grow from 30,000 now to about 90,000 in just over 40 years. A geographical feature of our strip is that it is about 26 km long, but only about 2 km wide.
Mount Maunganui is one of New Zealand’s leading holiday spots. People come here for rest and refreshment – spiritual as well as physical. Our Church is a place of renewal and restoration.
We hope that by becoming part of one of our congregations – whether as a local resident or a visitor – you will find the love of God and fully experience His goodness, His grace, His forgiveness, His freedom, and His eternal hope. Welcome. Welcome from all at St Andrews.
Please join us whether you are a local resident, or when you visit our town.

Both laughter and tears yesterday as we farewelled Amanda (12 years serving St Andrew’s!). Amanda has been a rock of wisdom and support and she will be greatly missed. We are excited to see what God has in store for her future as she ventures out into new opportunities.
