Teaching Series: "Everybody In"
St. Andrew is an open, affirming congregation that welcomes saints and sinners, believers and skeptics, the lost and the found, the wonderers and the wanderers, families of all shapes and sizes, and people from every point along life’s journey. No matter who you are, where you’ve been, what you believe or whether you even believe at all, you belong here.
But a lot of people have an entirely different experience of Christianity—one that has resulted in deep spiritual trauma caused by churches and Christians that preach and practice a gospel of exclusion, judgment, and doctrinal conformity. There’s a better version of Christianity—one in which you really can be yourself, believe at your own pace, ask the hard questions, and express your doubts without the pressure of having to think or believe a certain way.
In this expression of Christianity, we trust in the slow, often hidden work of God to transform our hearts and minds as we seek after God. That transformative work of God happens in community, wherever two or more are gathered in Jesus’ name—and where everybody’s in.
Even you.

Make Me An Instrument – The Peace Prayer for Post-Moderns
Hatred. Injury. Doubt. Despair. Darkness. Sadness. We don’t have to look very far to see how these struggles play out every day in our world—and how, every day, we find ourselves in the very midst of such struggles. We live in a world of un-peace. Such un-peace often makes us want to retreat from the world in fear and self-preservation. But what if we lived as those who are called to be instruments of peace, redeeming and transforming whatever spaces and places we happen to be in—and whatever people happen to be there? Join us for this world-changing summer sermon series inspired by St. Francis’ famous “Peace Prayer.” Learn how to train your soul to look outward, to move boldly toward the un-peace of the world, and to bring love, forgiveness, faith, hope, light and joy wherever there is need.
Welcome home. You belong here. At St. Andrew, we embrace Jesus’ message that God loves everyone and affirm that all persons are of sacred worth. We are proud to celebrate diversity as we work to live our vision of radical hospitality. We welcome people of every age, race and gender identity; diverse nationalities, ethnicities, and sexual orientations; any family structure, economic reality, physical and mental ability, education and faith history. While there are differences among us, we can love alike though we may not think alike. You are invited to join this nurturing community on a faith journey toward greater love, understanding and mutual respect.
