Pastoral Care

Jesus said, ‘I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.’ John 13:34-35

At St Andrew’s, one of the values we aim for is to be a generous community where we care for and look out for one another as a family in Christ. Much of our pastoral care, therefore, takes place informally every day through our connect groups or friendships within the church. But sometimes we might need extra support.
