Welcome to St. Andrew's Church!

Mission Statement

St. Andrew’s is an Anglican Church, with an international membership and English as our primary medium of communication. Situated in the heart of Kowloon, it is in a strategic position to connect with large numbers of people spending long or short periods of time in the city and often travelling from Hong Kong to all parts of the world.

“HONG KONG FOR CHRIST, CHRIST FOR THE WORLD” expresses our vision to win and disciple people for Christ while they are here in this part of China, and then to send them out to win the world for Him. We aim to resource people to fulfill this apostolic calling in the workplace, among the poor and needy, in the local community and on the wider mission-field.

We are a community dedicated to the worship of God, ministering to and valuing people of all ages. We welcome into our varied church family people from all backgrounds and church experience, aiming in all things to bring God glory and to lift up the name of Jesus Christ.

In style and character, St. Andrew’s is both evangelical and charismatic; we aim to balance the Word and the Spirit, calling individuals to make a personal commitment to Christ, to ground their lives in the truth of the Bible and to seek constantly the filling and empowering of the Holy Spirit for Christian living and service.

We believe that the church has five purposes: mission, worship, fellowship, discipleship and service. Our aim therefore is to make and mature Christians, such that every member becomes an active servant of God through the variety of ministries radiating from our home base.

We aim to work in partnership with other church fellowships and organizations, both local and international, wherever our ministries overlap.
