What to expect at
St. Andrew’s
We are a warm and welcoming community. We worship with traditional liturgy and hymns and offer Holy Eucharist. Programs like children's ministry, youth group, missions, community service, and adult education are also accessible through our church.
Our congregation is very friendly, and we offer morning coffee and other refreshments after Sunday service. Depending on COVID-19 health and safety protocols, we have a potluck after the service on the first Sunday of the month.

What we believe.
As Episcopalians, we are followers of our Lord Jesus Christ. We believe in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We celebrate our unity in Christ while honoring our differences.
The Episcopal Church is part of the worldwide Anglican Communion and can trace its heritage to the beginnings of Christianity. We believe the Bible to be the Word of God and that it contains all things necessary for salvation.
We welcome men and women to be ordained as bishops, priests and deacons. We affirm that committed relationships are lifelong and monogamous. We also recognize that there is grace after divorce and do not deny the sacraments to those who have been divorced and remarried.
Lay people (those who are not ordained) exercise a vital role in the governance and ministry of our Church. We affirm that issues such as birth control are matters for informed personal choice.
St Andrew’s is a missionary church, and we are part of the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego.
