  • The building has a disabled-friendly entrance with a ramp.
  • There is a large hall as well as a small hall adjacent to the main building with a separate entrance.
  • There are 5 toilets, one of them adapted for disabled use, and a small baby changing room. 
  • The kitchen is very well equipped with a double oven, 2 induction hobs, dishwasher and microwave, and ample crockery and cutlery.

The church is in a residential area, and we ask hirers to finish their activity by 9.30pm and to vacate the building by 10:00pm

Services started in the then Social Club (since replaced by a Community Centre) with help from Oxford churches and St Michael’s. About 100 children attended the Sunday school. Eventually in 1961, the community joined in putting up is own wooden structure which became St Andrew’s Church, a daughter church of St Michael’s. When this building started to wear out, it was decided to rebuild the church completely. After seven years of prayer, planning, and fund-raising, the new eco-friendly and accessible St Andrew’s Church was opened in 2023 by Bishop Sophie Jelley, a former Dean Court resident.
