St Andrew is a community of people seeking to live more like Jesus every day and to learn in deeper ways what it means to follow His teachings, live in community, and serve the world. You will find a group of people united in Christ. You will find pastors and a congregation confident in the Word of God, who interpret the Scriptures through reason, experience, and tradition, and seek to apply them to a life of following Jesus. The modern world can be challenging and often seems designed to move us away from Christ, but we believe when we come together as a community united by an earnest desire to live more like Jesus, we can create change. In seeking Christ together, there is joy – a tangible expression of the work of the Holy Spirit in our community. And we
believe that joy foretells of the day we will eat and drink at His table in the Kingdom of Heaven. Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, we invite you to discover the truly transformative role faith can play. We welcome you to a community ready to embrace a faith in Christ that is real, practical, and life changing.
