Worship
Ancient Tradition. Modern Context.
About Worship at St. Andrew’s
Our worship is rooted in ancient tradition and practiced in a modern context.
Each week, we celebrate the death, resurrection, and ascension of our Lord through the practice of communion, to which all baptized Christians are welcome.
Additionally, you will participate in the singing of hymns and songs of worship, the hearing of the Word, the proclaiming of the creeds, and the sharing of prayers and thanksgivings. For younger worshipers, each week features a children’s sermon with messages geared toward elementary age kids.
However you choose to worship with us, we’re glad to have you be a part of our St. Andrew’s community!
Join us in Worship
Each Sunday, we offer three services that share the same liturgy and sermon, but differ in musical style and atmosphere. The early service is a quiet, contemplative gathering with spoken prayers in place of sung responses. Later services include music ranging from traditional hymns and choral pieces to more contemporary songs of praise. However you worship, each service invites us into the same rhythm of prayer, Word, and sacrament as we encounter the living God together.

This quiet and reflective service is just the spoken liturgy without music.

Music for this service is led by Stephanie Jenkins, St. Andrew’s Praise Band leader, and the Praise Band. It features a blended musical selection from ancient hymns to more contemporary musical selections including songs you might hear on the radio.

Music for this service is led by Laura Bray, St. Andrew’s Music Director, and features more traditional musical selections, primarily from the hymnal and choral tradition.
From September through May, this service is also led by the St. Andrew’s Choir.
Also Available Online @ 9 am
On Sunday mornings, our online service begins promptly at 9 am with the start of the in-person blended music service. The online service can be participated with on YouTube and Facebook. The liturgy is displayed on-screen to help you participate. The announcements and bulletin for online worshippers are also available for download as a PDF.
Our worship together online, at the same time as our in-person service, allows us to have the experience of worshiping together even when we are far apart. You can share prayer requests, comment on the sermon, and say hello to one another. Be sure to follow and subscribe to St. Andrew's Facebook and YouTube pages to make it even easier to get to online worship each week.
If you can't join us at 9 am, the services will remain available on Facebook and YouTube.
