About us

The Established Church in Guernsey is the Church of England with the Dean of Guernsey recognised as the senior Church appointment on the island. The 10 island parishes each have their own Parish Church and Hall, similar to rural Scotland. In addition to several other Anglican Churches, there is a strong Methodist and Roman Catholic following and a variety of other denominations.

St. Andrew's in the Grange, Church of Scotland, represents the Presbyterian faith, with a membership of 246 and some 60 adherents, comprising Guernsey born, Scots, Dutch, English and Irish in the main - a cosmopolitan congregation originating from a staunch Guernsey following and a Scottish heritage dating back to the days when Scottish troops were garrisoned on the island. Today, members work across the community, including the finance industry, horticulture and tourism, there being full employment in the island.

The congregation includes 25 ordained Elders of whom 22 are members of the Kirk Session, and the Congregational Board numbers 30. The Sunday School is lively and thriving with some 20 children, mainly of the younger age group. At present there are no other youth groups attached to St. Andrew's in the Grange.

St. Andrew's in the Grange is a member of the Presbytery of England, the Presbytery to which Church of Scotland congregations located in England and the Channel Islands belong, which holds quarterly meetings in London.

Worship takes place at 10.30 a.m. The Sacrament of Holy Communion is observed on the first Sunday of each month. An Evening Service is held at 6.30 p.m. on the last Sunday in every month except July and August.

Special events:

A Bite and a Blether. On the last Wednesday of every month from September to May from 12.00 noon to 2.00 p.m. a soup and sandwich lunch will be held in the church hall. Come along and meet your friends and make some new ones.
