The Search Of Our Next Rector


Almighty God, giver of every good gift, hear our prayers for St. Andrew's. Open our hearts and minds to the understanding of our church, our ministries and ourselves. Grant us wisdom to discern your will. Clothe us in compassion, humility, patience and love as we search for a rector who will care for your people and inspire us to do your work through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

                        St. Andrew's Mission Statement

St. Andrew’s is a parish of worship, spiritual growth, acceptance and healing centered in the Eucharist. We reach beyond ourselves, striving to allow God to work through our hands as Christ’s own. In our role as stewards of God’s gifts we embrace a comprehensive concept of stewardship as central to our ministry. As a place of hope for all people, we celebrate with joy through grace our oneness in Christ.
