St Andrew's Newcastle

The Church of St Andrew, Newgate Street, stands at the geographical centre of Newcastle city. As a Grade I listed building, widely recognised as the oldest church in Newcastle, it has been a place of worship, fellowship and community life for more than 900 years. Today, St Andrew’s remains at the heart of city life. With Newcastle United’s stadium and two universities nearby, the church welcomes a high footfall of local and international visitors, including tourists, pilgrims and historians, as well as those attending special celebrations and services. We are home to the Northumbria Deaf Mission and a city-centre chaplaincy that respects people of all faiths and none, offering support to anyone who asks for help.

Our aim is to provide a warm welcome, a safe space and an oasis of calm for all who seek support, reflection or quiet in our busy city. Our partnership with the university Music and Ecology departments are a particular blessing.

As members of the Church of England, we are committed to fostering a safe, inclusive, and non-judgemental environment. We offer a welcome to everyone and celebrate loving relationships. We would be pleased to offer prayers for same-sex couples within any of our regular services. If you would like further information, please contact the vicar.

We are home to a broad mix of people and provide traditional worship at a civilised time, regular concerts, and a mission-led commitment to social and ecological wellbeing.
