INTRODUCTION

St. Andrew’s Scots Church, Malta is a unique Local Ecumenical Partnership between the Church of Scotland .uk and the Methodist Church of Great Britain .uk. We are a single congregation church with a second worship centre in Gozo.

A Methodist Church has existed in Valletta since 1824, when the Rev. John Keeling founded the first non-Roman Catholic Church in Malta. A Presbyterian church has existed on our site since 1843 and our present building was completed in 1857 through the efforts of a Presbyterian minister, The Rev. Dr. George Wisely during a time of strong British military presence.

Today our ministers come alternately from the Church of Scotland and the Methodist Church; our congregation comes from around the world; our services in this historic building are modern, simple, lively, and focused on the Word of God; and our mission work reaches out to vulnerable families, immigrants and refugees in Malta in various ways and to HIV/AIDS communities in Zambia.

We play a full part in the activities of both the Church of Scotland International Presbytery and the Methodist District (South-East England). Our congregations come from many different traditions with regular worshippers from over 20 countries (before counting tourists!) and whilst we have a core of both Church of Scotland and Methodist members we also have members from the United Reformed Church, Episcopalian Church, Dutch and South African Reformed Churches, Anglican, Evangelical Churches, Roman Catholic and the Lutheran Church.

The church building also hosts the Andreas Gemeinde of the German Lutheran Church on the top floor of St Andrew’s House.

Our church offers a distinctive ministry and mission in Malta and the sister island Gozo. It is Malta’s international Christian church; it’s a focused mission church; it’s thoroughly interdenominational in its membership but offers worship which is in the Reformed tradition.

We refer interested persons to our website: , with content generated by the minister and others, for a description of our congregation, our worship, and our mission. Here you will also find an online copy of our magazine ‘Crossroads’ which, under its new editor, is being shaped in a different way and has developed over the last year with interviews, articles etc.

OUR VISION

Our vision is, quite simply, to continue to develop and grow our ministry and mission, both in the ways that have been opened to us in recent years, and in new ways as they present themselves – to do all this under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and to do it under the theme of “To love as Jesus loves, through our …”

• Social Outreach (Service)

• Fellowship partnerships

• Evangelism.

CONGREGATIONAL LIFE

The Minister is the Moderator of the Kirk Session (Church Council) which has 5 elders, currently

3 women and 2 men. Elders serve for 5 years or 10 years according to our constitution, so there is a regular injection of fresh talent. Each member of the Kirk Session has a distinct role – such as Missions; Communications; Pastoral Care co-ordination; Treasury; Property; Facebook; Safeguarding; etc. We have an open, consensus-style approach to meetings. The Session is also the financial court, according to the constitution of St Andrew’s Scots Church.

This is a 21st century church, very much focused on ministry and mission in a changing religious and political environment. It’s a church experiencing astonishing answers to prayer and seeking to take the gospel – the life and teaching of Jesus – into new areas of opportunity.

A Prayer Chain initiative, launched in March 2013, has proved very successful in bringing people and prayers together – and is a good example of one of our members feeling empowered to offer and develop such an initiative.

Gozo – for the past two

years we have established regular services on

Gozo, our neighbour island, on every 3rd and

5th Sunday of a month.

There are a number of regular worshippers and

we are delighted to have a sister congregation in

Gozo

Close relationships between Malta and Gozo is

important for us.

PASTORAL CARE

Our main pastoral care is currently carried out by the Elders with each taking on the role of a pastoral leader for a number of households – this has become the primary route through which our pastoral care is offered, and through whom the minister would learn of pastoral situations which required her involvement.

Chaplaincies:

The minister is the “on-call” chaplain for non-Roman Catholic patients at Malta’s Mater Dei Hospital and works with the hospital’s in-house chaplaincy team. This has resulted in her offering pastoral care, on a few occasions, to Jewish and other patients.

Baptisms: Our Baptism Register also includes baptisms conducted by the pastor of the Andreas Gemeinde congregation. In recent years there have been a number of baptisms.

Weddings: All marriages in Malta are civil marriages – the minister of St Andrew’s Scots Church (like priests also) is not a governmentally registered celebrant. The only marriages recorded in our register are therefore full marriages, where a civil registrar is present. Additionally, weddings are often carried out in outside venues.

Funerals: These will take the form of a memorial or thanksgiving service when a body is repatriated for a funeral in another country. Burials are typically in one of the three church owned graves. On occasion, the minister has conducted burials at sea.

Remembrance: Remembrance ministry is significant in Malta in two ways. Firstly, from the days of WW2; the minister in particular has a representative role in a number of special services each year, ranging from Anzac Day and Canada Day, through the remembrance services for Operation Pedestal, RAF, Royal Navy and Army.

WORSHIP

Our worship style is relatively informal. Music includes organ and keyboard the main hymnbook is CH4, but we regularly include other items. We make use of a new digital projection system throughout the services – for hymns and readings, but also for news items and prayer focus. We involve members in as many ways as we can – readings, prayers, offering collection, door greeting, etc.

A typical service will include four or five hymns or songs, prayers for ourselves and others, Bible readings (usually by members of the congregation), ‘first thoughts’, and a sermon from our minister or guest preacher. This will usually be about 15 minutes and will be based on the Word of God. The whole service lasts for around an hour – a bit shorter in summer, and a bit longer when we celebrate Communion.

MISSION

Our long-term mission commitments have been:

The Foodbank: This was opened in Summer 2015. When an individual, couple or family find themselves in crisis, arising from situations like benefit delays, low income, homelessness, sickness or housing issues, it can take some time for Care professionals in Malta to find a long-term solution to help them regain some control of their lives. This is where The Foodbank steps in with its team of over 20 volunteers. Up to 100 families are helped on a weekly basis from our distribution centres. We are currently in the process of being awarded NGO status.

Dar Tereza Spinelli: a halfway house in Valletta for homeless and abandoned women, many of whom may also be victims of domestic violence. Dar Tereza depends on our weekly donations for its daily food and household supplies. As well as weekly donations of household supplies there are times when we help with funding for small building projects and furnishings. Monies saved by Dar Tereza not having to pay for such necessities are then directed towards counselling services. Our congregation is encouraged to include something extra for Dar Tereza in their weekly shop.

Sister Catherine Farrugia in Tugwashanye, Zambia is supported directly by our congregation in her invaluable work among hundreds of children, young people and families impacted by poverty and HIV/AIDS related illnesses. Sr. Catherine is actively involved in helping the poor, the hungry and the sick. In her community she trains others to cope with daily life. As well as receiving medicine, the poor people need to be well-nourished if the medicine they receive is to do them any good. Our financial contributions go towards medicine and food as well as funding tertiary education.

Malta Microfinance: This is a financial institution owned by St Andrews, licensed and regulated by Malta Financial Services Authority. The company lends money to people in crisis situations. In particular Maltese women and also refugees to enable them to transform their lives. The scheme has included loans for education, business, rent and personal loans to help people through a temporary crisis. The Minister is required to be on the Board of MMF.

Blue Door English: This initiative has been running for nearly ten years. We have a team of volunteers who teach up to 70 students per week the English language. We have a paid Coordinator who organizes the curriculum and students are mostly migrants and refugees. There are also classes for mothers with babies which provides a valuable service as well as a safe social environment. We are currently applying for funding to allow this very important initiative to continue.

In addition, we also support the Annual Mission Project of the International Presbytery of the Church of Scotland.

SOCIAL OUTREACH

We open our church each year throughout the night of the Notte Bianca Festival in Valletta as a regular, featured part of the Festival programme. This brings in many hundreds of visitors – mostly Maltese – to whom our volunteers explain our church, our beliefs, and our faith.

Fellowship/Partnerships

Presbytery: We have good relationships with the International Presbytery (which we hosted in October 2017). A member of the Kirk Session is our Presbytery Elder who fully participates in Presbytery activities and responsibilities.

Methodist Church: the minister attends at least two Methodist SE District events each year – usually a Synod, and a Superintendents’ Residential. We have hosted the President and Vice-President of the Methodist Church of Great Britain in the past.

Sponsors’ Council: This unique arrangement benefits both the congregation and its parent churches, in terms of constructive oversight.

Ecumenical Relationships: Our church plays a prominent role in these and its minister is the current chairman of Christians Together in Malta (the Malta Ecumenical Council;) We play a full part in its activities, including ecumenical services in January (Christian Unity) and May/June (Pentecost), and in promoting ecumenical initiatives.

Meetings are hosted by our church and we have been pleased to welcome Malta’s Archbishop Paul Cremona to a service in St Andrew’s Scots Church.

Other Agencies: We work very closely with these in our mission work, particularly the Jesuit Refugee Service, with whom we also coordinate the annual Refugee Remembrance Service in June to mark World Refugee Day; the Foundation for Shelter and Support to Migrants, and of course the Church of Scotland Guild and the World Mission Council, and the Methodist South East District Prayer Co-ordinator and Grants Committee.

EVANGELISM

Mini-cards: we continue to benefit from participating in Malta’s mini-card scheme, through which we are advertised in hotels and other locations at a very good rate; we were the first church in Malta to do this, and we often find people coming as a direct result. This, and our church website and other communication needs, are managed by an Elder.

Junior Church

The church’s ministry to children and young people is an area of concern. Junior Church and creche stopped due to a lack of children. We now need to find a way to have more children in regular attendance. There is similarly a lack of young people in the age bracket 15 to 40.

LIVING IN MALTA

The Manse: We previously rented a Manse but are currently looking to purchase a manse property which will fit the criteria of both the Church of Scotland and the Methodist Church. The upkeep and utilities (electricity and water as well as cable TV, broadband and landline telephone) are all met by the congregation.

A Honda Jazz Car (1198cc, blue 5 door hatchback) which the church insures, taxes and services, is provided; the minister meets the cost of all petrol, parking and CVA (Valletta congestion charge).

Education: Government school education is free and in the Maltese language. Private schools, which are used by a large proportion of both local and expatriate families, offer education in English and are of a high standard with curricula similar to the UK system. Costs are very reasonable compared to the U.K. The church is willing to assist with a proportion of the school fees if applicable.

Health Care: Local health care clinics are free of charge to persons registered with the NHS. Visits to a GP incur a nominal charge and doctors are prepared to make house calls for a reasonable charge. A new hospital has recently been opened catering for all medical requirements.

Private hospitalization and consultation is also available. There are many excellent private hospitals available in Malta.

CONCLUSION

Unique in its being, setting and congregations, St Andrew's Scots Church affords many opportunities for exciting innovation in the coming years, - opportunities for consolidating this distinctly representational, mission focused church, whilst continuing with more varied styles of worship; greater outreach and evangelism; widening our approach to pastoral care; extending our networks and nurturing and empowering the congregation, so that mutual support and team work are strengthened and embedded as part of the life of those who worship in this ‘gathered’ church community.

Thus the Minister will be expected to be

A team leader, but also a team builder, inspiring, encouraging and enabling others to take responsibility for different areas of this congregation’s life and work in the name of Christ;

A confident representative of the reformed tradition in dealings with ecumenical partners from other denominations;

Non-dogmatic in their approach to liturgy, embracing all who wish to worship and serve with us while remaining true to our shared background and roots;

An exemplary pastoral carer serving both the congregation and the wider community.
