St Andrew's Church, Chesterton
A thriving, open and welcoming church community for all ages
St Andrew's exists so that together we can worship God, share God's good news, grow in faith, and live and work in accordance with God's will. This website will tell you a little about us, and some of the ways in which the people of St Andrew's seek to be faithful to Christ, and live in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Visitors, seekers and new members are always welcome at any of our services. We find that we often draw closer to God at moments of change in our lives. We are happy to be involved in Christenings, Weddings & Funerals.
Many of our events and activities take place at St Andrew's Hall, our local community hall.

The Drama of the Passion
There will be plenty of opportunities to explore the drama of the last days of Jesus' earthly life over Holy Week and Easter. BBC ONE is broadcasting its own new take on The Passion; Cambridge has its own Passion Play on Christ's Pieces at 12 noon on Holy Saturday (22nd March), and many of the services at St Andrew's will have their dramatic element - from the Palm Sunday procession and dramatised Passion reading, to the prayers stations of Good Friday, to the Lighting of the New Fire at dawn on Easter Day.
