WHO WE ARE
St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church is a place of energy, connection, spiritual substance, and belonging. Our church vibrates with activity but also offers calm and contemplation, peace and support.
Led by our gifted and caring clergy and aided by our dedicated support staff, our community offers engaging children's activities, an outstanding choral program, and a variety of ministries where parishioners can serve and be served. St. Andrew’s is a church where opportunities abound to grow and express our faith and find spiritual fulfillment through our participation in the Eucharist -- the Holy Communion that is the centerpiece of our services.
WORSHIP
The Book of Common Prayer and the Eucharist are central to the worship experience at Saint Andrew’s. We offer two Sunday services: an 8 a.m. spoken service and a 10 a.m. service that also features music. Virtual worship via Facebook live is also available at 10 a.m.
Following both services, we invite you to join us for coffee, refreshments and conversation. This is a great way to meet people within our community and to learn more about our church.
