Other Mission Activities

Clevedon and District Food Bank

Together with Churches Together in Clevedon (CTiC), we are pleased to support the Clevedon District Food Bank.

Christians Against Poverty

Another Churches Together in Clevedon (CTiC) project, some of our members are involved in providing counselling and pastoral support for people struggling with debt. CAP is recommended by financial guru Martin Lewis (see here). You can find out more about this initiative by Christians all across the country here.

Chaplaincy

Some of our members have been trained as chaplains and visit businesses in the town to offer a listening ear and support to proprietors and staff. Again, this is a Churches Together in Clevedon (CTiC) initiative.

Cuppa and Company

We meet in the Walters' Lounge on the first Thursday of every month for informal chat over light refreshments. All are welcome.

Warm Welcome

During the winter months we open up our Church Centre for a few hours each Friday for people to come into the warm, have a light lunch, chat, play board games or do jigsaws. All are welcome. During the summer we open for Warm Welcome on the first and third Fridays of the month only. For dates and times, check on our Church Calendar.

The Big Breakfast

Every three months the St Andrews Church Centre hosts a free breakfast on a Saturday morning, where everyone is welcome, no strings attached. It is well used by members of the community outside the church. To find out when our next Big Breakfast takes place, see our latest news in What’s On.

Clevedon Churches Refugee Support Group (CCRSG)

Several of our members are actively involved in Clevedon Churches Refugee Support Group (CCRSG), another Churches Together in Clevedon (CTiC) initiative. You can find out more here.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Welcome

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know beforehand what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet in St Andrew's Church (details here) for our Sunday services starting at 10:00 am. For more details on our schedule of services, check here.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access to both the Church and the Church Centre. We have two designated accessible parking spaces on our private access road close to the church building, and one in the car park by the Church Centre. We have a sound loop in the church. Please sit in a pew in the main body of the church (not in the South Aisle by the entrance), behind the entrance gangway, where there are signs in front of the pews with the loop system logo, in order to take advantage of this facility. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will guide you. There are no toilets in the church building. The nearest toilets are available in the Church Centre, including an accessible toilet.

Modern layout of church - hear

Our Sunday Service

The service begins at 10am with a warm welcome from one of our team, and usually with notices if applicable. We use a variety of modern liturgy and sung worship which ranges from traditional hymns to modern worship songs. We include readings from the Bible and a sermon which aims to explain the scriptures and to apply them to our lives. Some of our readings and sermons follow the Church of England lexionary, and some form part of themed sermon series. The length of the service is usually about one hour.

Church Full 2

After the service, we serve refreshments in the St Andrew's Church Centre. It is a great way to get to know one another. All refreshments are free.

What about children?

Our children's activities take place at other times than the main church service (see here). However, we love children coming to our church services with their parents, and throughout the service we have a range of children's activities available in the St Thomas Chapel, for use under parental supervision. You can still hear what's going on in the main service from there, and be assured - we really don't mind the sound of children enjoying themselves!

Getting Connected

Home Groups

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our home groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week, some afternoons and some evenings. Check out Home Groups and see if there’s one that you could join, or we can put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.

Serving and Volunteering

If you want to get involved in the life of the church and help us make Sundays run smoothly, you can sign up to serve on a team.
