About Us
Welcome to St Andrew's Geraldine.
Thank you for visiting us.
Our Vision Statement is "Glorifying and enjoying God together. Growing God's Kingdom through Jesus transforming lives. Going to all people because they are special to God", or, in short; "Glorify ... Grow ... Go."
We want to achieve our vision by calling people to faith, supporting them to change, and coaching and commissioning them to serve in the areas they feel they are called to.
Walking with Christ is a journey and we acknowledge that nobody is perfect, but we seek to take this journey together.
We believe in
•One sovereign God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
•The divine inspiration of Holy Scriptures and its supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
•Jesus Christ is the divine Son of God –conceived of the Holy Spirit, became man, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, rose bodily from the dead, and is now exalted at the right hand of the Father.
•The sinfulness of all human beings and our individual need for salvation.
•The loving grace of God to be received through faith in Jesus.
•The need for the Holy Spirit to bring us to repentance, faith and new life, and to transform and empower us.
•The universal Church, the body of Christ to which all true believers belong.
•The call to all believers to live a holy life in obedience to God.
•The responsibility of the Church to proclaim the Good News of Christ to a lost world and serve others in His name.
•The return of Jesus, and in eternal life for all who belong to Him.
We are a parish of the Presbyterian Church of Aoteroa New Zealand.
