WELCOME
Welcome to the Parish of St Andrew and St Mark, Surbiton, in the Diocese of Southwark. There are two churches in the parish: St Mark's is a notable
landmark at the top of St Mark's Hill, dating from 1845 but
largely rebuilt in the 1950s. St Andrew's, at
the corner of St Andrew's Road, is one of the finest
surviving examples of the work of the Victorian architect
Blomfield.
On April 25th 2010, St Andrew's re-opened (see the
news) with a Service of Re-dedication, after a long period of restoration and re-ordering. St Andrew's is now a magnificent building for worship and musical events, and the new adjacent rooms allow us to develop work and mission in the parish. All services will now be held at St Andrew's, while the parish completes preparations for major renewal and restoration work at St Mark's. It is hoped that this will proceed over the coming twelve months.
On Sundays there is a said service at 8.00am, with a service for young children and families at 9.15am on the second and fourth Sundays of the month, and the main Sung Eucharist is at 10.15am, with choir and Sunday school. The church is also open daily except for Monday, the parish
Sabbath. Weekday services are shown on the
Calendar.
We have now begun the practical implementation of our Vision as a people called by God to be an effective Christian
community, witnessing to the truth of the Gospel, and caring for
those around us. We are committed to making Surbiton a better
place to live and work. This has begun with the refurbishment of St Andrew's, and the construction of a new Vicarage. It will continue with the remodelling of St Mark's and the building of a new Parish Hall.
