Serving God in the heart of our community since 1881

St Andrew's Church, Taunton

St. Andrew's has been a place of quiet prayer since 1881. Today, it remains a haven of peace at the heart of the bustling community of Rowbarton in Taunton. 

One of the first things that many people comment upon is the prayerful atmosphere and sense of calm within the church. Perhaps this is why such a wide cross section of people find a spiritual home with us.  St. Andrew's people are a true cross section of our local community. This diversity helps to make our church a wonderful place to worship, and a source of welcome and acceptance.

A human place

We pray together, sing together, worship together, learn together, and try to spread the Good News together.  We are a place where strong and lasting friendships are formed, where we are supportive of each other, and where we think about our faith and how it affects the way in which we live our lives.  We look to serve the community in which we live both as a church, and as individuals in our day to day lives.  Our aim is simply to grow in relationship with God, with each other, and with our community.

C. S. Lewis wrote that God "seems to do nothing of Himself which He can possibly delegate to His creatures.  He commands us to do slowly and blunderingly what He could do perfectly and in the twinkling of an eye."  So being human, our progress is often stumbling, and we frequently get things wrong.  We don't pretend to be perfect people, or that St. Andrew's is a perfect church. But we're up for the challenge. Using our disparate gifts, skills and personalities we're working together on God's big project.

One of our members describes St Andrew's as "a community of celebration and of hope". So please come and join the celebration - having you on the team will be a joy to us and to God.
