Michael Wilkinson was the real founder of Gorakhpur Mission. He built a small parsonage and laid the foundation of the church. Roberts Merltins Bird, one of the eminent civilians of his generation was largely responsible for devising the system of assessing and collecting the land revenue in Upper India. In 1823 he was stationed at Gorakhpur, in the extreme North East of the region, the borders of Nepal. In 1826, this Church was open to both English and Indian Services. The missionaries were able to proselytize many in the region and Bettiah became the epicenter of the Roman Catholic families.
Aim of St Andrews College – Gorakhpur is to offer an all round education to the students drawing inspiration from the life and teaching of Jesus Christ. The College is to impart sound learning, the building of character and spread of spiritual and knowledge of God.

History of St Andrews College – Gorakhpur named after Saint Andrew, one of the first twelve disciples of Jesus Christ, had a humble beginning in 1828 as a Mission School by the Church Missionary society to provide education primarily to Christian children but also to others irrespective of creed that voluntarily joined it.
The foundation of the Church Missionary Society (C.M.S.) in 1699 was consequential to the Evangelical Revival, with the role of great grandfather of Indian Evangelical Revival being ably played by the Rev. Charles Simeon. Even while the Church was on the verge of becoming just a salutary maxim and devoid of consciousness of missionary obligations, he went about with his fiery zeal for the missionary enterprise in India. During the last decade of the 18th century, Rev. Charles had the rare opportunity of influencing young potential zealots of the University towards a revival of missionary zeal. Despite opposition by East India Company in direct missionary works in North India, he vented the innermost desires of his spiritual sons by making them chaplains of East India Company. Initially in the first half of the 19th century, the C.M.S. founded schools to provide education to Christian children of Indian and European descent. Later the need was felt to mold them on theological ramparts and thereafter prepare them to attain ministry.
