The Episcopal Church:
The name ‘Episcopal’ comes from the Greek language meaning ‘supervisor’ and refers to our form of church leadership by bishops who guide the church and its people. Together, we share Christ’s service as his disciples.

The Episcopal Church in the United States is a branch of the Anglican Communion that is historically rooted in the Church of England. Today, there are over seventy-five million Anglicans worldwide with over two million in the United States. Our common faith and form of worship is expressed in The Book of Common Prayer and is used by all Anglicans everywhere.

Our Faith and Worship

We entrust ourselves and our concerns to God who has lovingly reconciled our shattered world in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus the Messiah. At St. Andrew’s, we seek to express this classic message of Christian hope in our everyday lives and our weekly worship.

The principal service of worship at St. Andrew’s is the Holy Eucharist. This is a full, musical celebration of the Lord’s Supper that Jesus commanded his disciples share in remembrance of his life, death and resurrection.

This Sunday service has two main parts, namely, (1) the Word of God, in which we hear God’s Word read and preached and (2) the Holy Communion. All baptized Christians are welcome to receive Holy Communion regardless of denominational background.

Every Sunday, a nursery is provided for infants and young children.
