In August the session adopted a new welcome statement. This is an important statement for the church right now. While this statement is the result of a long process with the session, we understand that you all may have some questions about the process of crafting and adopting the statement. All are invited to join Pastor Camille and session members in the youth lounge after worship this Sunday for a brief time to hear more about the background and to ask questions you might have about it.

As one part of the church of Jesus Christ, we are inspired and guided by Christ’s vision of God’s realm – one that includes all who seek to love God and neighbor.

St. Andrews Presbyterian Church welcomes all people, regardless of age, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, economic situation, family status, mental or physical abilities to become part of the membership and ministry of the church. We welcome all of each of you.

We are inviting all of St. Andrews to connect with one another as we walk out our faith together. See our website for a complete list of all the ways we connect at SAPC, and click here to let us know you’d like to join one of our groups, get more information about a group, or to offer a suggestion for a new group.
