St Andrew’s Church supports six different Missions (organisations with Christian/humanitarian aims), ranging from local concerns to international agencies.
Our main focus in 2017 is on:
Prayer support
The church prays regularly for all these missions, with information about one mission per week in our church Parish Prayer bulletin.
We also hear more about them and about their prayer needs through the monthly “Mission Matters” news sheet (which can be found by opening the "NOTICE BOARD" from the menu on the left of the website homepage) and at certain Sunday services and events during the course of the year.
Financial support
A tithe (10%) of our church income is divided among the mission agencies (a quarter to each of the three main missions with the remainder divided between the others and occasional additional charities).
A variety of fundraising events are also held.
To find out more about each of the mission organisations listed above, please use the links to their individual pages or email the appropriate rep listed below.
