Notes: St Andrew's was the first Presbyterian church to be built in Christchurch (1856-1857). St Andrew's opened for worship on 1 February 1857 at the intersection of Tuam Street and Oxford Terrace. St Andrew's congregation began to dwindle and the church was no longer the centre of Presbyterian worship that it had once been. In 1986 St Andrew's was transported across town to its present site at Merivale Lane where it serves as Chapel for Rangi Ruru Girls' School and a local parish church.
