St Andrew’s Church, Chesterton

A thriving, open and welcoming church community for all ages

St Andrew's Church

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.

News and Events

Annual meeting

It is the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (preceded by the meeting of parishioners to elect churchwardens) on Sunday 21 April.  This will be reflected in the service at 10am, but the formal meeting will start at about 11.20am, in church.  An annual report of the life of St Andrew’s in 2012, together with the accounts, will be presented to the meeting.  A draft of this can be read here (because of a delay in the Hall accounts we are awaiting final approval from the Independent Examiner).  The meeting will be followed by a bring & share lunch.

Director of Music

In the summer Chris Pountain will be retiring from his role as Director of Music at St Andrew’s after 11 inspiring years under his leadership.  We are therefore on the hunt for a successor!

We are a busy and thriving parish church which values the young and the aged, old and new, liturgy and informality, Scripture and sacrament, the contemplative and the joyful. We have a patchwork of six choirs, some in separate age groups and others that bring them together. We have an organist in post and other church members who are able to assist or deputise.

We need a team leader

  •  with vision for using our many and varied resources to make music for the glory of God and the building up of the church
  • with the musical, personal and spiritual skills to recruit, train and encourage musicians of all ages

A description of the role can be found here.  For full details and enquiries please email the vicar, Nick Moir, vicar@standrews-chesterton.org.
