WORSHIP is on Sundays at 10:00 am.

We worship IN-PERSON and LIVESTREAM on our YouTube channel.

Livestream: Details and links to the bulletin and the livestream for each service can be found on our "Media" webpage: Media webpage

Worship is at the center of our lives together. The Means of Grace, the Word of God, Holy Baptism, and Holy Communion are the means by which we are met by the God we know in Jesus Christ.

In the Word, God’s story becomes our story. By the power of the Holy Spirit through Scripture and sermons, both the child and adult are nurtured in faith formation. Our scripture readings are based on the Narrative Lectionary.

By water and the Word of God in Holy Baptism, we are sealed by the Holy Spirit.

Holy Communion is celebrated each Sunday. At the Table we are fed and called to remember that all of the life and its benefits are the gift of God to us in Christ Jesus. The gifts of God are for the people of God. All are welcome at the Lord's Table.

A variety of music styles enrich worship and help us praise and thank God for all that we have been given. We connect with God, with others, and are equipped to connect to the community and beyond, as faithful witnesses of Jesus' love.
Worshiping together helps us to live lives of shared ministry.

Pastor Lara Forbes began her ministry at Saint Andrew’s on February 18, 2020.

Personal Ministry Statement:  As a Christian I am called to love God and my neighbor. As I live this out as a pastor, I have come to understand that no congregation exists solely for itself. Rather, it’s an integral part of its surrounding community and the relationship between church and community is living, breathing, and dynamic.

Before coming to Saint Andrew’s, Pastor Lara served at Faith Lutheran Church in Phoenix, Arizona for ten years.  She is originally from Washington State.
