Our Facilities

Plan of church grounds

St Andrew’s Church Building

You can find our historic church building here. It is open to visitors most days of the year from approximately 10 am to 4 pm, apart from during services of worship, which of course you are welcome to join us for! You can find out more about our worship services here. You can find out more about the history of the church building here.

St Andrew’s Churchyard

Our churchyard contains some 2500 graves and 860 cremation memorials. It is now sadly full, and closed to further burials. Availability of spaces for interment of ashes is severely restricted. More information can be found here. The churchyard is also recognised by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission as a place of burial for service personnel who died during the two World Wars. You can find out more here.

The Glebe

The Glebe is a largely wooded area, with nature trails, open to all, and maintained by an enthusiastic group of volunteers. It also houses our popular brood of chickens. You can find out more here.

The Sheepfield Garden

As the name suggests, this area was once a field for grazing sheep, but is now an open space with lawn and flower borders, open to all, beautifully maintained by volunteers. You can find out more here.

St Andrew’s Church Centre

The St Andrew’s Church Centre is a fully accessible, modern facility with main hall, two lounges, paved outdoor space, well-equipped kitchen and accessible toilets. It is used by both church and community groups for regular meetings and special events. It is also available for booking for private events. You can take a video tour of the Centre here, and find out more about the history of the Church Centre here. You can see the current bookings on our Church Centre calendar here. For new booking requests, contact us here.

St Andrew’s and St Peter’s Vicarage and Parish Office

A modern vicarage and a separate church office building has now been built in the back garden of the Old Vicarage at 10 Coleridge Road, Clevedon. You can contact the office 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, except for the fifth Sunday of the month, when we meet at 10:00 am in the St Andrew's Church Centre (details here). 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.

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.
