St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church is a caring, concerned congregation of believers in Jesus Christ. We are receptive, responsible, and warm to all His people, both members and newcomers alike. Our vision is to be true disciples of Christ through outreach, Christian education and pastoral care; and to be receptive and responsive to new ideas and issues while remaining faithful to Christ’s teaching and the direction of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America and the Anglican Communion.
