St Ninian's and St Andrew's URC
We are located at Chanterlands Avenue, Hull HU5 4DJ
St. Ninian's and St. Andrew's considers itself a church that is open to exploration of faith. The members hope to build on the proud history of our non-conformist forebears by being a church where honest questions receive honest answers. We are also proud to be the first Church in the area to perform same sex marriages.
We are 'the church on Chants'. We occupy a prominent position on Chanterlands Avenue - near the bridge, opposite the garage. We aim to be at the heart of the community the Avenues Community Room (ACR), along with Saint Andrew's Hall (SAH), are both well used by local groups.

The Pride Event items are coming along quite nicely, and as last time, if you want to know what exactly those things are, then you'll have to come and pay us a visit one Wednesday afternoon as there are too many to list separately. We are also working to replenish the basket of Pocket Crosses for the porch in time for the Open Gardens and Art Exhibition.
