We understand that visiting church for the first time can feel a bit scary. At St. Andrew’s, you’ll find a welcoming and friendly group. You don’t have to know what to do, say, or believe — just come as you are.

everyone’s nervous to begin with.

    No Dress code

    There’s no Dress Code here. Loads of us have tattoos and piercings. some choose to wear suits and ties. Others might come in tracksuits. No matter what you wear or how you look, Jesus loves us.

    What Happens when you arrive?

    When you arrive, people with badges will be outside the door to welcome you. You can ask them any questions or just say hello and walk in if you feel nervous. They can help you find a seat, but there's no set seating. If it’s your first time, sitting near the back is fine. We also have seats and space for wheelchairs at the back, and the welcomers can show you where. We’ve got accessible toilets in the center, and our services are streamed on facebook if you want a feel of what they look like.

    What Happens During?

    We’ll begin with prayers and a song, followed by readings and a short talk about the Bible, which shares God’s teachings. Then, there will be time for questions and Communion—a ceremony where we share bread and wine to remember Jesus. After another song, there’s coffee and biscuits for anyone who wants to stay. The service lasts about 1.5 to 2 hours, and you can leave anytime. The leader will tell everyone when to sit or stand. You don’t have to sing aloud if you don’t want to, but joining in can be fun!
