What to Expect

What are services like?
The "main event' every week is worship. Currently, we have one worship service at 10:30am on Sunday mornings -- no dress code; service lasts about an hour. We sing songs, read from the Bible, pray and listen to a sermon that connects real life to the stories of the Bible. On the first Sunday of each month, we celebrate the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper -- everyone is invited to come forward for a piece of bread and grape juice. Also, because we believe that this is the Lord's Supper, and not ours, you don't have to be a member of St. Andrew or a Presbyterian church to receive it. This is a part of God's grace, given by God who loves us, and something that none of us can earn or deserve.

What is the community like?
Members of the St. Andrew community collectively support the ministry and mission of St. Andrew through financial giving and offering their own time, skills and talents. They also commit to nurture their own spiritual lives through regular worship, study and fellowship. Also on the first Sunday of each month, our children collect your loose change in their blue buckets for the Beth-El Farmworkers Ministry. We love to make a noise for mission!

What if I'm not a Christian?
Come anyway. People are people. Like Jesus, we welcome all people, regardless of their background. We work to listen to and consider different opinions. Even if your beliefs are different, even if you don't consider yourself a Christian at all, we welcome you to worship with us and be involved in our ministry and mission. The Christian Church is diverse, made up of lots of different traditions and histories. We believe that diversity is good and God-given, rather than a source of division. As a Presbyterian church, we are only a part of that diversity and don't claim to be "the only game in town". Instead, we work to connect and cooperate with other Christians from other traditions. Yet, because there are so many other "types" of churches, we also think it is important to say where we come from.
