St Andrew's Church was a

St Mary's Church, Plaistow. A permanent church designed by James Brooks
opened in 1870 on a site just south of the northern outfall sewer embankment and a separate parish assigned to it the following year. A large central crossing tower with a pyramidal spire was planned but only completed as far as the ridge of the nave roof.

In 1903 the church opened the mission hall that later became

UCKG Help Centre and with its chancel walled off.[3][4][5][6] Its parish is now within the Parish of the Divine Compassion.[7] In 2006, the congregation of St Andrew's Church, Plaistow merged into the congregation of Memorial Baptist Church to form one group, the Memorial Community Church.[8]
