St. Andrew's Episcopal Church

St. Andrew's Episcopal Church is a vibrant, welcoming community of faith. We try to embody the reconciling love of God in all that we do. We hope that you will join us for one of our worship services, or come have breakfast with us some Sunday morning! Because it is the mission of the Church to restore all people to the unity of God, the ministers of St. Andrew's (the laity and the clergy) celebrate all people. Because we believe that a loving God created a universe that is good, and sent his only begotten Son to reconcile all into the full redemption of that goodness, we know that we are not capable of sitting in judgment of each other. We, therefore welcome all people to walk with us. We regularly covenant together before God to "continue in the apostle's teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of the bread, and in the prayers." We agree to "persevere in resisting evil," whenever we "fall into sin, repent and return to the Lord." We agree to "proclaim by Word and example the Good News of God in Christ." We agree to "seek to serve Christ in all persons," loving our neighbor as ourselves. And finally, we agree to "strive for justice and peace among all people," and to "respect the dignity of every human being." When we proclaim this covenant (which is part of our Baptismal vow), we always say that we can only do these things "with God's help." Knowing that God is part of all that we do, we at St. Andrew's strive to make sure that all persons feel welcome and are able to participate and be that which God created them to be, regardless of previous church experiences (or lack thereof), age, gender, sexual orientation, and/or race.
