Welcome to St. Andrew's! We would love to have you join us this Sunday. Our services are traditional though there is modern music and the occasional shouted 'amen'. We dive deeply into Holy Scripture for guidance and bring our personal prayer requests before God. You don't need to dress up. You can sit where you like. You can stay for coffee after the service and meet new friends.
In addition to attending in person, you can stream the service live HERE on Facebook or HERE on our website.
Thanks to Curtis & Marion for helping lead this morning's worship.
