Welcome to Our Website

Welcome to St Andrew’s Norway


We are a church within the Church of England where the offering of the Mass is central to our life, and on Sundays this is done with music and ceremony - the best we can offer. We see the mission of our church as carrying the love of God for us as shown in the living of His Son Jesus, to all we meet. We come to the altar bringing the concerns and needs of the people of God.If you live in Eastbourne, or are just visiting the area, you are most welcome to join us at any of our services or social events

It is not only on Sundays and Festivals that we come together to worship. Every day prayers are said in this church and are caught up with the prayers which are being said, not just in this country, but all over the world.  As the fourth verse of that wonderful hymn “The day thou gavest” says:


The sun that bids us rest is waking

Our brethren 'neath the western sky

And hour by hour fresh lips are making

Thy wondrous doings heard on high


When we come together to break bread and share wine as Jesus told us to do, we’re stepping into a stream of prayer and worship which crosses all time and all geographical locations.  The very bricks of the building are soaked with the prayers of those who’ve worshipped here down the years - as indeed the presence of the many visitors will leave an invisible mark on this building.
