CHURCH LIFE
We are a thriving church family and community, with lots going on for all ages... read on to find out more about church life at St. Andrew's!
Our Services
St. Andrew’s offers a range of services on Sundays and on other days and occasions. Some draw on the traditions and texts of the Church of England, both Common Worship and The Book of Common Prayer. Others tend to be more informal and best described as “fresh expressions of church.” More information via button below.
Wherever possible services from the church building are livestreamed.

Open Church
A place where all are welcome to come and enjoy the company of others, have free cuppas and biscuits, friendly chats, prayer if you would like it, and a listening ear. There is a short sung worship time, followed by a 5 minute talk on the things of God. Held in the refurbished Chapter House, please feel free to come and find out what is going on. We are open every Saturday afternoon 1:30-3:30pm. We look forward to seeing you.
From 8th January 2022, face coverings are mandatory, you will need to have proof of a negative lateral flow test, and a one-way system will be in operation.
Community groups
We have a wide range of social interest groups, including puppetry, walking, ladies' club, the flower guild and the Church Choir, alongside frequent men's and ladies' activities and days out.
All groups are a great platform for getting to know people and building friendships. We value the different passions and interests of everyone that provide fellowship with each other.
