A word from our Vicar, Reverend Andrew Dawswell

'One of my favourite bible verses - which I spoke about on my first Sunday service here in St Andrew's - gives a wonderfully balanced picture of all that God calls us to be.

We're described as:

• 'the household of God' - pointing to how the church is meant to operate a bit like an extended family
• 'the church of the living God' - because we believe that our God is real
• 'a pillar and buttress of the truth.' - seeking to learn and to share the truth of God's word to us as we open the bible together week by week

I do hope that you can join us.'

Information about the Church's facilities.

St. Andrew's is a family-friendly church. Our congregation consists of a wide range of people from different age groups and backgrounds, but in particular there are many families with children amongst us. We have regular family services that are geared to the needs of our young (and not so young) congregation. These usually occur on the second Sunday of the month.

Children are welcome at all our services.. At the 10.30 Sunday Morning Service a Sunday Club is provided for the weeks when there is no Family Service. This comprises Climbers, for children from 3 to 7 years, Trailblazers for 7 to 11 year olds and Pathfinders for those aged 11 to 14 years. Children usually leave for their groups after the second hymn when invited to do so by the Vicar. This is a joint sunday club with St. Peter's Church and is ran by members of both congregations.
