Who we are
Our logo shows two church buildings: the Round Church and St Andrew the Great.
For over 800 years our congregation met at the Round Church, just half a mile north of St Andrew the Great. From the middle years of the twentieth century onwards, God caused the church to grow, with a strong emphasis on Bible teaching ministry, both to students and townspeople.
By the early 1990s pressure of numbers was such that the congregation could no longer fit in the Round Church and an alternative venue was sought. In God's goodness the St Andrew the Great building, which was vacant, became available, and the congregation gave the funds to renovate it, including putting in the gallery, baptistry and rooms at the back. We moved in to the new building in 1994, and ever since then have been "The Round Church at St Andrew the Great".
The story of this, including further growth impacting other churches in Cambridge, is told in Persistently Preaching Christ (available from 10ofthose.com).
The Round Church remains our building, used by us occasionally, and leased to our friends at Christian Heritage, who run an exhibition and training courses there.

Empower me
Empower me to be a bold participant, rather than a timid saint in waiting; to exercise authority of honesty, rather than to defer to power or deceive to get it; to influence someone for justice, rather than impress anyone for gain; and by grace, to find treasures of joy, of friendship, of peace hidden in the fields you give me daily to plow.
