In 1927, a seed of faith was planted. An Anglican parochial district was established, encompassing New Lynn, Glen Eden, Titirangi, Laingholm, and Huia. This marked the beginning of Saint Francis Anglican Church’s journey. Initially, services were held bi-weekly at the Titirangi Soldiers’ Memorial Church in Park Road. A curate from New Lynn would travel to lead these gatherings. The community grew, and in 1970, Titirangi established its own parochial district, dedicated to St. Francis. The Soldiers’ Memorial Church continued to serve as the spiritual home for the congregation. However, the burgeoning community soon outgrew this space. In 1987, Saint Francis Anglican Church found its current home. The Soldiers’ Memorial Church still holds a special place in the heart of the community. A monthly mid-week Holy Communion service continues there. It’s also a sought-after venue for weddings. Saint Francis Anglican Church embraces a model of Local Shared Ministry. This was adopted in 2008. It emphasizes shared leadership and the diverse gifts within the congregation. The church embodies a sense of community and shared purpose, echoing the teachings of St. Paul.
