For over 800 years our congregation met at the Round Church, 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 year-round Cambridge residents.
By the early 1990s pressure of numbers was such that the congregation could no longer fit in the Round Church, and in 1994 we moved to St Andrew the Great (previously a derelict building), after a huge refurbishment programme. Ever since then, we’ve called ourselves “The Round Church at St Andrew the Great” (though “StAG” is less of a mouthful!). 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. Since then, we have also been involved in various church growth and planting initiatives. We have also grown as an international church, reflecting the diversity of our universities and city.
