Redevelopment update (April 2024)
Work has started in the Church on our giant £427,000 redevelopment project.
The completion date is currently May 24th but we will keep everyone updated on how things are progressing. You can watch videos of the first month’s work on our Youtube page
We are still fundraising for the remaining £10,000 and any donations to the project are always well received. If you include your name on the justgiving page, you will receive a memento floor block and your name will be added to the thanksgiving banner outside the church.
. Whatever you give, big or small will go to making our church building accessible and usable for future generations. https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/loveyourartscentre
Main church service
Currently all services are in the church hall or rooms. For details on how to access, scroll down.
You can access the church hall via the alleyway between the Church (left) and the vicarage (right) (see map with red line) or via the our car park in Crown Street.
Our main church service is on Sunday at 10am. We are an inclusive church and it is open to all.
We have three children and young people groups that run during the Sunday service.
Sunday Club – a group for parents, carers and their children to learn together
Sunday stars – a drop off group for primary school aged children (parents must fill in a consent form before drop off and must remain in the main church building)
Youth group – a group for secondary school young people. (parents must fill in a consent form before drop off)
Who we are:
We have three core values that drive who we are and how we join with other churches in Kettering to be a blessing to all those we come in contact with.
These values are held within our logo and are Arts, Belief and Community.
For more details of our vision and aims in these three areas see the separate page.
Belief (represented by the church) This is the starting point and everything we do, builds from that. It’s our battery and what gives us energy to do what we do. If we don’t grow and nourish our faith, like a muscle it grows weaker. Things get slower and eventually stop working, but as we grow in the riches of faith in Christ, we will do things, not in our own strength, but through his. We seek to offer spaces for people to explore faith of any age or background.
Community (represented by the lights shining out of the church) This value is all about welcoming others and building real honest friendships. Looking out for those in need, befriending the lonely, laughing with the stranger who may become a friend. We have a variety of groups that help bring people together, either over food, sport or through similar life stage groups, such as toddler groups or retired lunches.
Arts (represented by the rays of light shining out) This value is all about allowing us to discover everything God made us to be, to bring forth our creativity and celebrate every person for who they are. The Kettering Arts Centre is a large part of our connection with the local community and we champion all types of art and artists in our town.
Whatever brings you to St Andrew’s, however you arrive, whenever you come back, we are here to welcome you.
Our main service is at 10am every Sunday but we offer a variety of other services, groups and resources throughout the week, so have a look round the website or message us directly if you can’t find what you are looking for.
