Welcome to St Andrew & St George, Stevenage!

We are a vibrant and inclusive church in the heart of Stevenage town centre, where everyone is welcome, regardless of sexuality, background, or belief. We worship in the modern Catholic tradition of the Church of England, with services centred on the Eucharist and enriched by music, prayer, and thoughtful preaching, all rooted in a deep sense of reverence and joy.

Our church is a place of worship, community, and service, open to all, whether you're exploring faith, returning to church, looking for a space to encounter God, or simply seeking peace. Whether you're just visiting, new to the area, or searching for a church to call home, we invite you to join us for our services and events, or simply to pop in and say hello.

We are a welcoming and friendly community, committed to serving God and our neighbours with love and hope. We look forward to meeting you!
