Welcome to St Andrew's Church of England church, in Upper Leytonstone. St Andrew's is a fully inclusive local community parish church in the liberal catholic tradition of the Church of England. This means that worship here is usually a traditional form of Holy Communion (we call it the Mass) with hymns, incense, candles and bells. We sing traditional hymns, although we do sometimes sing some modern ones, and we have a small but happy Sunday School for young children and a small robed choir. In our faith we are a diverse group of individual Christians who are not afraid to ask questions and challenge traditional interpretations of the Bible and Church teaching, and yet we also value our friendship and friendships together. We believe that the Gospel of Jesus is Good News for all people, and all people are welcome here.We are committed to safeguarding and to creating a safe and healthy environment where all people can flourish without fear, threat or any kind of abuse and where victims are listened to and heard.
