St Andrew Presbyterian Church

What are services like?
The "main event' every week is worship. Currently, we have one worship service at 10 am on Sunay mornings. It lasts about an hour. In it, we have music, sing songs, read from the Bible, pray and listen to a sermon that connects real life to the stories of the Bible. Twice each month (1st & 3rd Sundays) we also celebrate the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper. On the first Sunday, we pass individual servings of bread and cups of grape juice to the congregation in their seats. On the third Sunday, we serve by "intinction", when people are invited to come forward, tear a piece of bread from the loaf and dip it into a large chalice of grape juice before eating it. 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.

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.
