St Andrew's Church Centre - 1986 - Present Day
After much prayer and planning and with the dedication and generous giving of many people, the St Andrew's Church Centre was built and opened in 1986.
Likewise, it was further extended in 1991 and more recently in 2015 (see video below).
The Centre continues to make a very significant contribution, not only to church life, but also to the local community. It has served us in a whole variety of ways, with many groups using the excellent facilities that it has to offer (see current list of users below).
It provides us with a really great opportunity to reach out to those who do not come to church.
The Centre is located about 50 yards down from the church (nearest postcode: BS21 7UE.)

2015 saw a team of people from St. Andrew's and Andrew House taking on an impressive refurbishment plan of the centre. This included turning one room into a cafe, adding a new atrium, moving the toilets in order to reduce some wasted space and considerably increasing the size of the kitchen. All of this was done whilst keeping most of the centre open for business which was even more astounding. Hopefully you will enjoy seeing the video below of some of the work that was done. Well done guys!
