- The 100th anniversary of St Andrew’s Church
1. The foundation stone of St Andrew’s (shown above the Centenary Stone) was laid in May 1925.
2. The Centenary Stone was the lintel stone of a fireplace in the vestry that was removed when we refurbished the vestry. It had been left outside the church for some years before someone suggested using it for the 100th anniversary.
3. St Andrew’s is a Church of Scotland and a member of the United Protestant Church of Belgium.
4. The Sunday School did some art works which decorated the church featuring 100 drawings of candles (I don’t have a photo of that, unfortunately)
5. The service was also attended by representatives of Holy Trinity Pro Cathedral (the Anglican church) and the International Protestant Church, Brussels.

We have a number of groups in the church and if you’d like to take part, help or just find out more, speak to an elder on a Sunday morning, or send us an email.
We follow the Church of Scotland’s Safeguarding policy, so to help in some groups you will be asked to comply.
The Caring for One Another (CFOA) group keeps contact with and visits some of our more elderly members.
The Christian Aid group helps to let us know about their work and each year we raise money to fund it – usually in May.
The Communications Team works to keep us all in touch, producing the weekly online service, the church website and various other tasks.
The Eco-Congregation group is there to promote our concerns with the environment.
We are members of the Belgian Protestant church – the Église Protestante Unie de Belgique (EPUB) and we have a small group who attend their meetings and keep us up to date with matters.
Our E-prayer group is an online group committed to praying for various people and situations each week.
The Fabric Committee looks after the buildings and everything in them.
The Fair Trade Stall sells products after the service on a Sunday.
The Finance team oversee the church’s money matters.
The Kirk Session is made up of elders, who are selected for their gifts in leading and serving the church, making decisions about a wide variety of issues.
The Ladies Fellowship meets once a month after the Sunday service, for fellowship and to talk about faith.
The Music Team oversee the music in the church – we have three choirs and a Choirmaster.
We are also members of the Church of Scotland’s Presbytery of International Charges and we keep up to date with events and concerns in other churches around the world.
The Safeguarding group reports to the Kirk Session and ensures that we keep the people we work with safe.

We have Tea and Coffee after the service and we rely on volunteers to ensure that the refreshments are prepared each week.
St Andrew’s Brussels is twinned with Christ Presbyterian Church, Adentan, Accra, Ghana. We share together on a regular basis, with members of both churches visiting the other.
We also have online Bible Studies, Thoughts for the Day and a presence on Facebook.
Our church buildings – the sanctuary, hall and rooms – are used at different time by a variety of groups based in the Brussels community. Some of these are weekly, others less frequently.
If you would like to make use of our premises, please contact us (either the Secretary or Minister) with a requested day/date and time and we’ll see if we can help you out.
Ensuring a Safe Church for All
The Church of Scotland has a deep concern for the wholeness and wellbeing of each individual. Through its Congregations, working together with the Safeguarding Service and statutory agencies, the Church seeks to safeguard the welfare of all people who come into contact with the Church and its services.
The Gospel proclaims that it’s the responsibility of everyone within the fellowship of the Church to prevent harm, be it physical, sexual or emotional, and we will always seek to reduce risk. The Church’s commitment to safeguarding reminds us that God cares passionately about the welfare and wellbeing of all people.
