Amid the trees, the glacier covered mountains, and the waters of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Episcopalians met in August of 1891 to organize an Episcopal mission in Port Angeles. St. Andrew's became a mission and by May 1892 the first church building was built. In 1943 St. Andrew's became a parish and in 1971 moved to its current location. Outreach, community service, and worship not only helped define our past, they remain important parts of our lives now and in the future. As the church grew, the people of St. Andrew's reached out to people in the community of Forks and established the mission of St. Swithin's in the early 1960's. St. Swithin's remains an active mission today. "To know Christ and to make Him known" is the mission statement of our church. Striving to achieve this mission has taken many forms over the nearly 117 years since St. Andrew's began. Outreach, community service, and worship are supplemented by music, education, ecumenical activities and strong fellowship and mutual support of each other. While our past is written and our present is being recorded, our future is not yet spelled out. Through worship and prayer, fellowship and study, and with a strong belief that God is active in our church and in each of us, we will continue "To know Christ and to make Christ know him".

Sacred Ground Race Dialogue Circles
Sacred Ground is dialogue series on race, grounded in faith. Small groups are invited to walk through chapters of America’s history of race, racism, and whiteness while weaving in threads of family story, economic class, and political and regional identity. The 10-part series is built around a powerful online curriculum of documentary films and readings that focus on Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian/Pacific American histories as they intersect with European American histories.
Sacred Ground is a resource coming out of Becoming Beloved Community, The Episcopal Church’s long-term commitment to racial healing, reconciliation, and justice in our personal lives, our ministries, and our society. This series is especially designed to help white people talk with other white people, while being open to all racial/ethnic groups. Participants are invited to peel away the layers that have contributed to the challenges and divides of the present day – all while grounded in our call to faith, hope and love.
