Welcome to the Website of St Michael and All Angels Church, Sandhurst, Berkshire
Welcome by Rev John Castle, Rector
St Michael’s is a community of people who worship God together, and who want to know God better and serve him better in our daily lives.
People come to our church for all sorts of reasons - at major life events such as marriage, christenings, bereavement, to find God and his purpose for their lives or to get involved in a local Christian community.
Whoever you are, we hope you'll find what you are looking for on this site, so we can help you practically, spiritually or however we can!

Visiting the ChurchEveryone is welcome to come into the church, to spend some time in a quiet space away from the busy-ness of life, to take shelter from a sudden shower, or to look around; whatever the reason, you are more than welcome. We try to keep the church open as much as possible for private prayer.
If the church is locked, you can obtain a key from the office (in the centre at the bottom of the path) during office open hours. See the contact page for details. A history and guide booklet is available in the church and from the office, or you can find extracts here. Hall and Meeting RoomsIn the Pastoral Centre next to the church we have a large hall and several meeting rooms available to rent on a one-off or regular basis. Details here.

"Preparation . . . "
The following article by Church Warden Emma Hodge appears on the front page of the August Newsletter.
August is upon us and for some it is a chance to prepare, to prepare for the next school year, possibly at a new school or university, but even if this doesn’t apply, we may be using the summer holidays to take a break from some social activities which don’t meet over the summer, or just to enjoy the lighter traffic when we drive to work!
Preparation is important, both in the Old Testament and New Testament, people are encouraged to prepare, but do we prepare only at a practical level or do we also prepare on a spiritual level? Preparing on a spiritual level helps us to be ready for challenges and difficult times but it also enables us to grow in our faith. In July we saw people take the next step in their journey of faith, as they were either confirmed or received communion for the first time, but we are all on faith’s journey and we all need to prepare to take the next step.
