The Reverend Louise Anderson

Louise joined the St Aidan’s team in 2018, as Priest Associate and brought with her a particular gift of walking alongside people through their various chapters of life. She was appointed Vicar in 2021. Her previous background in teaching shines through as she supports the many small groups operating in the church and loves connecting with people of all ages.

Louise believes in the power of working collaboratively and actively encourages and empowers people in lay ministry. She has recently completed her 2-year Spiritual Direction training and uses these skills as she meets with and supports people on their journey with God and through difficult times.

Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go – Joshua 1:9

In her free time, Louise enjoys reading, gardening, walking along our many beautiful Auckland beaches and swimming. In the cooler months, Louise can often be found at the movies or trying out new recipes in the kitchen.
