Welcoming

We are an inclusive, welcoming community that believes worship should engage people of all ages, and are committed to making worship meaningful for the whole church. No matter what your age or situation, there is a place for you.
​

Intergenerational Worship

From newborns to children, teens to young adults, middle somethings to elders - we gather as one body for worship seeking to involve all interested worshippers. There is a littles corner in the back of the church, and bags with coloring at the church entrance.
​

Outstanding Music

We have talented parish musicians and a dedicated choir that offer excellent music. The music enhances our worship and community, and provides opportunities for people to offer their talents for the glory of God.

Outreach

We are committed to serving those facing poverty and hardship in our community.  We offer many services to support our local community, such as Second Helpings, our free community meal; a skills sharing group, St. Andrew's Guild; everyday essential items not covered by SNAP dollars at Whitney's Pantry; spiritual companioning for those on the margins, and much more. 
​

Love our Neighborhood

We care deeply for our neighborhood and are always seeking to build stronger relationships with our neighbors. Whether it’s through church sponsored events for the community, sharing our spaces with the community, or parishioners volunteering at local schools, hospitals, and service agencies.

Active Community
