Purpose & Structure

Charitable Purpose

The Upper Clutha Presbyterian Church (UCPC) is dedicated to Loving God and Loving People by the power of the Holy Spirit, with Christ at the centre of all we do. Our mission is to embody God’s unconditional love, as revealed through Jesus Christ, in our worship and in our service to the Upper Clutha community. We live out this mission through pastoral care, community support, and opportunities for people of all ages to connect, grow, and serve. With Christ as our focus, our ongoing priorities are to build capacity, foster strong relationships, maintain an outward focus, and strengthen community ties. The Upper Clutha Presbyterian Church (UCPC) is a local parish serving the Upper Clutha community through two churches — St Andrew's in Wanaka and St Ninian's in Hawea. We have been part of the community since our establishment under the Presbyterian Church Property Trustees' Act 1865 and are a registered charity in New Zealand.
