| St Andrew's - Aspiring to become an Eco-Congregation Eco-Congregation is an ecumenical programme helping churches make the link between environmental issues and Christian faith, and respond in practical action in the church, in the lives of individuals, and in the local and global community. Eco-congregation developed from a partnership between the Government funded environmental charity ENCAMS and the Environmental Issues Network of Churches Together in Britain and Ireland. To recognise churches that have made that link Eco-Congregation make an award and St Andrew's has been working towards that award for the last three years. Details of the elements that make up that award can be found on the Eco-Congregation website using the following link: http://www.ecocongregation.org As part of our work to bring environmental issues into our Christian lives, we are members of CEL (Christian Ecology Link), whose publications are available to read at the back of the Church. One of their principal aims is to offer insights into ecology and the environment to Christian people and churches. More information about current issues can be found at their website: http://www.christian-ecology.org.uk |

What We Believe
Christians believe that we are created to love God and to love one another. We believe that God is discovered when we follow Jesus and we walk with him as our companion, our teacher, our model and our guide. Christians try to imitate Jesus and to follow his commandments to love one another in our daily lives.
Through our relationship with Jesus, Christians experience themselves to be loved as daughters and sons of God. We believe that nothing can separate us from that love and that God accompanies us through all of life’s joys and hardships.
Christianity is not a set of rules to be recited and obeyed. It is a way of life to challenge, encourage, excite and engage you. Why not come and join us one Sunday!
