Visitors and guests are especially welcomed at St. Andrew's, and we look forward to greeting you and helping you feel comfortable.

The worship setting at St. Andrew's is unique in that we literally gather "around Word and Sacrament" (a major Lutheran principle). Both the preaching spot and communion table sit at the very center of the room, with rows of seats facing in on four sides. This setting lends itself to the creation of a special sense of intimacy and community as we gather for worship. Here the Word is proclaimed from scripture, and the promises of that Word are personally extended to all in the Holy Communion meal.

Immediately following the service, we invite you to share in a time of conversation and refreshment in the fellowship hall.

Sunday School is offered during the school year, from 3 year old children to adults. Both Biblical and Topical subjects are covered throughout the year.

Confirmation Class for students in Grades 6 through 8 meets on Sunday mornings during the school year. Students learn the fundamentals of the Biblical story, and the basics of Christian faith.

With the guidance of our Church in Society Committee, the children learn to care for people in our community and beyond by giving their monetary or in-kind offerings to various programs. Programs they have supported include: InnVision Shelter Network (homeless), Samaritan House (emergency homeless), and CORA (abuse prevention); Heifer International, ELCA World Hunger, ELCA Disaster Relief, Help One Child (supporting Foster Families), and the Church in Jerusalem (Evangelical Lutheran Church in the Holy Land and Jordan).

Koinonia means “fellowship” in Greek and these are small groups that meet once a month in the homes of members, with the goal of nurturing relationships with one another.

The Pieceful Quilters meet on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 9:30 a.m. Simple quilts/comforters are made for the homeless, each new family in the House Next Door project, high school graduates of the congregation, and any others in need. Sewing skills are not necessary. There is time for brown bag lunch and fellowship. All are welcome.

Once a quarter, the Caring Committee provides a brief communion service followed by a luncheon for senior members and friends who, for a variety of reasons, are unable to attend worship services on a regular basis and/or who would enjoy the fellowship.

As part of the W-ELCA, St. Andrew’s has two “Circles,” which are small groups of women who get together in homes or at church once a month for Bible study, prayer, fellowship, and refreshments. The Circles are Elizabeth Circle, which meets on the third Tuesday of each month at Noon; and Martha Circle, which meets on the second Thursday at 6:30 a.m. All women of the congregation are invited to participate.
