St Andrew’s
St Andrew’s Church
151 Thomson Street, Tinwald, Ashburton
St Andrew’s has a small congregation, which was what attracted some of them to worship there. Sunday services are drawn from a New Zealand Prayer Book and many of the congregation participate in aspects of the service.
Sermons are offered by local clergy and lay ministers, and occasional guest preachers. The church has an electronic organ and a piano, and uses a mix of traditional hymns, and songs from the past 50 years.
It is a traditional little white church set among trees, including an orchard and former community garden at the rear. The church hall is across the road and has an adjoining small lounge, kitchen, accessible toilets, and baby change facilities. The church facilities are available for hire by the local community.
Parking is available on the road, disability parking and drop-off are available beside the church building.
