Sunday Worship Service

Welcome to St. Andrew’s! We’d love for you to join us this Sunday. While our services are rooted in tradition, there is also heartfelt modern music and the occasional joyful "Amen!" Together, we dive deep into Holy Scripture for guidance and lift our personal prayers before God. Come as you are—no need to dress up. Sit wherever you feel comfortable, and if you’d like, stay after the service for coffee and conversation. We’d love to get to know you!

In addition to attending in person, you can stream the service live HERE on Facebook or HERE on our website.

Thanks to Floris & Curtis for their musical leadership.

Welcome

Call to Worship (Psalm 32, 2 Corinthians 5:16-21)

Everything has become new.
This newness is from God,
who has reconciled us through Jesus Christ.
Rejoice and be glad!
Everything has been made new.
