Welcome to St Andrew, North Swindon the parish church for North Swindon. We welcome you to our friendly church, situated in the green oasis of calm that is our churchyard. We have a beautiful, historic building - local people have been worshiping on this site since the eleventh century, and parts of the building are over 700 years old - but the church is all about the people who come together to worship God. We would love to welcome you to join us. We are very happy that you are here: if you would like to talk to someone, do contact us. Our aim is to worship God together and to make Jesus known in North Swindon, welcoming everyone who comes and supporting one another as a family. We are here to: WELCOME everybody WORSHIP GOD through prayer and praise LOVE AND CARE for one another SERVE GOD in this community PRAY for the needs of the world and the parish PROCLAIM AFRESH in each generation the unchanging gospel of Jesus Christ Technically, our parish covers all the housing north of Thamesdown Drive, including St Andrew’s Ridge, Ashbrake, Redhouse, Oakhurst, Tadpole Garden Village and the original village of Blunsdon St Andrew. You’ll see our parish boundaries marked in red on the map below. However, as with most Church of England Churches these days our congregation includes many people who live beyond the parish boundaries and who choose to worship in our beautiful historic building, with the friendly people they meet here.
