Other members of the church congregation are drawn from a wider area; from other parts of Oxford and surrounding villages.

In the 1980s, the expanding congregation meant that a larger building was deemed necessary, in order to accommodate all the activities that started up during this time.

The size of the congregation at the start of the 21st century demanded extra space for church activities and meetings, with a range of possibilities considered – including digging a crypt basement beneath the nave, buying adjacent properties, and building on land to the south of the main building.

As well as giving church members Bible teaching and Christian fellowship St Andrew's has ministries outside its walls, with outreach and charitable work locally in the parish and in estates elsewhere in Oxford as well as internationally, with support for missionaries around the World.

On the first Sunday of the month, in conjunction with Causeway Prospects, St Andrews has a service for adults with learning disabilities, the JOY Place.

St Andrew's makes extensive use of modern technology and media services – two of the main services (at 9:30 am and at 6:00 pm) use projection software and have a worship band, full use is made of the church website, including using it for scheduling volunteers and sending out regular emails for prayer meetings.
