St Andrew's Church is part of the New Creation family of four churches covering Banwell, Congresbury and Puxton.
Our purpose is Building Better Community, by bringing Christ’s light to the heart of it.
History
New Creation formed as the two Anglican and two Methodist churches in the villages of Banwell and Congresbury in January 2014. There is also a simple historic church building and ‘haven for prayer’ at Puxton.
Ethos
Our ethos is central to our life together. We seek to live close to the person of Jesus Christ as an inclusive group of Christians from many different backgrounds, experiences and traditions with the common aim of seeking to “build a better community” in the local communities of which we are part. The idea of living relationally with God, with each other and with the physical world around us, together with the Bible stories of a “New Creation”, (Galatians 6:14-16), otherwise known as “God’s Kingdom”, inspire us greatly and these are the bedrock for our collective name and vision, “New Creation”.
New Creation takes the well-being and safety of the children and vulnerable adults attending our churches very seriously.
