Other

St Andrew the Great is a diverse city centre church in Cambridge. Our vision is 'the gospel to Cambridge, gospel workers to the world'. Our undergraduate ministry feeds into this vision as we seek to disciple and train around 100-125 students, many of whom will soon move on from our church; we pray, to be useful servants of the Lord wherever they find themselves next.
