St. Andrew's by the Sea Church

Share a story

When people describe St. Andrew's they use words like: 'welcome,' 'relaxed,' 'accepting.' We believe that a church should be a community that embraces the uniqueness of each individual. If you would like to connect with our community of faith on a Sunday morning expect to meet some people who are just like you in age and walk of life: neckties to flip flops are perfect church attire for St. Andrew's. We worship with a relaxed reverence and sing a blend of hymns and songs, both ancient and modern. A sermon is preached and we all gather at the communion table to share the common meal of bread and wine that defines our community's identity as the body of Christ. After the service, we share food and conversation, as old friends catch-up and new friendships are forged.

Through the year we use different worship styles, words and music reflective of the season. Every 5th Sunday, we also have an All-Age Service where children and youth are particularly welcome to gather around the altar as well as help lead the worship by reading, ringing bells, sharing Holy Communion, and reminding us all of the joy of living!
Where ever you are on your journey of faith, you are welcome to come as you are and celebrate God's love with us.

Sacred Ground Race Dialogue Circles

Racial Reconciliation

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.
