Missional Communities

The body of St Andrew's is made up of mission-shaped communities (MSCs).

We have been pioneering MSCs for over four years and have seen tremendous growth numerically and spiritually, through the release of people in their many gifts and callings.

Each MSC has a name, a clear mission purpose and is no larger than fifty adult members. Led by teams from the church family, MSCs are bringing the Father's love to the lost and the poor in diverse and creative ways. We have MSCs that are serving neighbourhoods, children, the elderly, the deaf community, prisoners, young people, adults with special learning needs and the homeless.

MSCs meet out in the community in a variety of venues across an increasing geographical area. Most meet on Sundays but others meet during the week. Everyone gathers at St Andrew's on the fourth Sunday of the month for a celebration service.

We are a large church and it would be very easy to be lost in the crowd. MSCs have become an extended family for the majority of our church members who value the strong sense of community and the opportunity to work together to make a difference for Jesus. 

We encourage all who consider St Andrew's their spiritual home to become part of an MSC.
