United Benefice

Clevedon United Benefice is three worshipping congregations with concern for each other and for those living within our town who do not know Jesus

One congregation meets at St. Andrew's (the ancient Parish Church of Clevedon) situated near the coastal Poets' Walk and on the edge of a large area of modern housing but with some old properties from the original Clevedon nestling near the Church.

Another congregation uses St. Peter's Church in Alexandra Road near the Pier. In the 19th century St. Andrew's became stranded on the outskirts of the town and a daughter church, St. Peter's, was built to serve those living nearer the centre of the town. The original tin building, dedicated in May 1899 was replaced by the present light, airy, comfortable one in 1960.

Christchurch, at the top of Chapel Hill leading from The Triangle, has been associated with St. Andrew's and St. Peter's since 1994. Built in 1839, it became home in 2005 to a Methodist-Anglican Ecumenical Partnership when members of the former Christ Church Anglican congregation and Linden Road Methodist Church joined together. The new congregation is now known as Christchurch. This is an exciting step for all concerned as those from the Methodist Church left their building and everyone will be worshipping at Christchurch.
