As a people saved by God’s grace through faith, Saint Andrew’s Lutheran Church is joined by our common belief in Jesus Christ and is a welcoming community of believers who, empowered by the Holy Spirit:

Gather to worship, hear God’s word, and share the Sacraments;
Encourage, renew and strengthen faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord;
Equip, educate and nurture a deeper understanding of the expression of faith in daily life; and
Send people into the world to serve.
