About Us

St Andrew’s is a lively, welcoming, growing and warm Christian Community which exists for ALL people, and specifically, the people of this parish of North Deal. It offers a Christian spirituality which is based on faith and following the life and teaching of Jesus Christ.
The various celebrations of the Church’s Year attract a wide variety of people.
In addition to a weekly and seasonal services there are other forms of worship, eg our Easter celebration for children and the extremely popular Pet’s Service.

There are occasional Civic Services too and the attendance of the Mayor and other dignitaries are a regular part of our involvement with the life of the town of Deal.

To that end, our service to the community takes a variety of forms:

Use of the Church for concerts, exhibitions and public gatherings

Publication and distribution of our Lantern Magazine

Offering a “welcome” space on a Wednesday morning for coffee and fellowship

Having a Hall available for hire to clubs and organisations

Raising the funds for a defibrillator which is housed on the wall outside the Hall.

A very strong social life is a foundational aspect of St Andrew’s life and mission. The many events throughout the year bring in new people from the community as well as strengthen the bonds of our regular worshippers.

Refreshments after Sunday and Wednesday mass

An occasional monthly Parish lunch at a local venue. (See Calendar and Latest News for updates)

Our various fundraising activities, eg summer fete, Christmas Fair, coffee concerts

Harvest supper, just to name a few.
