St. Andrew’s is a community of loving people who invite you to join us for a day or a lifetime.
The members of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church embrace fully Christ’s message of loving others as ourselves by inviting and welcoming all to join us in worship and fellowship.
God loves you!”
We, the Episcopal Church, welcome and invite you to share in this proclamation of the Good News of Jesus Christ and to become a member of our Christian community.
The Episcopal Church has a unique place in the spectrum of Christian experience. Our worship is rooted in scripture, with vibrant expression of prayer, music, sacrament, and word. Episcopalians have long stood for service to the wider community, and we express our faith in outreach and social concern; we attempt to “walk the talk” of Jesus’ teachings. We are known for asking good questions, rather than necessarily providing pat answers for complex issues. And we are known for our inclusiveness, recognizing that Christ’s banquet is large enough to include every person.
Some words which describe Episcopalian values:
- Open-minded, and willing to live with ambiguity, knowing that truth is discerned by many paths.
- Searching, questioning, and using reason to explore new insights and possibilities.
- Intuitive, affirming the metaphorical, paradoxical, and symbolic.
- Aesthetic, understanding that truth, goodness, and beauty are inter-related.
- Moderate, holding the “middle ground” between extremes.
- Naturalistic, delighting in the rhythms of life grounded in Creation.
- Historical, valuing tradition and experience in understanding the present.
- Political, appreciating civic virtues and affirmation of free, peaceful, public debate and discourse, and the role of the church in influencing social, political, and economic life.——> MORE
