Welcome to the community of St Aidan’s Anglican Church, Remuera. Built in 1905, for over a century Christians have been gathering here to worship and work together to serve the local and wider community. We are a community committed to worship, caring and mission and are part of the Anglican Diocese of Auckland.
We appreciate that it can be a little intimidating for some people walking into a strange church for the first time, so please check out our team here, and we hope that you will feel at home at St Aidan’s. Our songs are singable, the sermons are understandable, the people welcoming, and you don’t need to come in a suit.
We’d love to see you this Sunday, but if you’d like to read more about Faith before you come to church, you’ll find some information and a short video here.
You’re welcome to join us for morning tea as well, which happens between the 8am and 9.30am services and again after the 9.30 service – both in the Gathering Area (the room you walk through to get inside the church). If you would like to be on our Parish roll, please fill out the Newcomers Form and hand it in to our Office – or you’ll find one in the Gathering Area.

Our Vision
In the fullness of our relationship with God, we are a community of:
Worship – celebrating God’s love;
Caring – being God’s love for one another;
Mission – taking God’s love into the world.
To make our vision reality, we seek to:
- Be a community where we all find mutual support and reinvigoration that enables us to live with a heart and mind open to the world.
- Help people recognise their spiritual gifts, which they use to serve and express the love of God in the parish and the wider world.
Our Values
As a community of faith, we understand that life for many is hectic and work can be all-absorbing and so we seek to offer nourishment for the journey as we gather in worship.
- We value the variety in our worship, which has an intergenerational focus.
- We value quality teaching that helps us know God and connects with our everyday living.
- We encourage our community to pray for each other and through prayer touch the world.
- We affirm that the primary place for expressing our life as a Christian is in the home and wider community.
- We seek to develop our parish mission through Vision Groups, through which we invite all parishioners to contribute according to their gifts and interests.
- We support mission agencies and communities beyond our parish, in the wider Anglican Church and beyond, such as the Auckland Anglican City Mission, the Anglican Trust for Women and Children, CMS, Habitat for Humanity, as well as a variety of special appeals for local and international mission projects.
