Missions Support

One of the ways in which St Andrew's takes part in the work of the wider church is by our support of Christians in various ministry contexts, both in Australia and overseas.

Among the ministries we currently support is the work of Jean Phillips amongst Brisbane's Indigenous community. We also support workers with such organisations as the Church Missionary Society, Bush Church Aid, and Servants to Asia's Urban Poor.

Regular prayer and support activities are also organised to this end.

School Chaplaincy

St Andrew’s is the employing authority for Anthony Foley, chaplain for Brisbane State High School (just across the road!). The chaplaincy is conducted with the approval of Education Queensland and offered to the school community.

Andrew provides support to students, staff and parents, and help Christian students to develop effective support groups on the school campus.

Small Group Ministries

Small group ministries provide a more personal level of fellowship and care for members of the church. Small groups include study groups held at the church as well as home-based groups. Small groups are listed by suburb here. Contact the church office for more details.
