Who we are
We have been in the Hillcrest community for over 40yrs with many of those at the beginning still worshipping Jesus here. Three church’s of different denominations chose to come together Anglican, Methodist, Presbyterian. A group of Christians getting together to form a blended family. Today people are still together doing the Jesus thing of loving our neighbours.
It’s a place of welcoming for everyone from babies to grandparents.
It is our hope that you would find a place to belong here. No matter your background, culture or stage of life – you are welcome to be part of the st francis family as we value being a multicultural and intergenerational church.
We believe that for people to thrive in their faith, they need connection with others in community. Some of the key ways to ensure this happens is to serve alongside others, join a small group aimed at teaching and support for personal growth.
We have a strong desire not just to build the local church but to reach out beyond the four walls and bring change and blessing to our community, city, nation and the nations. We would love for you to be part of that, probably the best way is to show up on a Sunday and meet some of us properly. Then there are countless ways to join in the fun as we shoot at being the sort of family in which all sorts can belong.

Open our ears.
Blessed Lord, open our ears to hear what Thou speakest and our eyes to see as Thou seest. Give us hearts to beat in sympathy with Thine at the sight of every little child; and above all, our Lord, to understand and experience how surely and how blessedly Thou fulfilest Thy promise, "Whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me."
