St Andrew C Of E Church
Churches in Bedford, Bedfordshire
Our Church Centre is open and active 7 days a week. There are quiet spaces for prayer and reflection, worship which combines the finest of the contemporary and traditional, and opportunities to explore the Christian journey for all ages. We strive to be of service to the entire community and many local groups meet here throughout the day. On 4 July we'll be welcoming Jo-Ann Gaunt to our 10. 00am service to tell us more about the work of IMPACT - Bedford Area Schools Support Trust. The objective of their work is the advancement of Christian faith among young people in the Bedford area.
