What to Expect
For those with special needs, we have handicapped parking available in the parking lot close to the entrances and a ramp that leads up to the church.
We have four entrances: the parking lot entrance which leads the parish hall; the office entrance, (double glass doors which face 26th street); the parlor entrance, double wooden doors which face 26th street; and the main entrance to the church, which is at the top of the steps. There is a handicapped entrance ramp which leads from the parking lot to any of the entrances mentioned above. We also have an elevator lift which leads from the parlor to the church level.
Guests who are not baptized Christians are welcome to come forward during Communion to receive a blessing, by crossing your arms in front of your chest. We pray silently before and after receiving communion.
We approach the altar from the center aisle and return via the side aisles. You may see some movement among those around you during a service, including kneeling, crossing oneself, and bowing. There will be times that the congregation will read in response and recite creeds collectively. If you are new to a tradition that uses formal prayers and liturgy, we encourage you to participate without concern for “doing things correctly.” Everything you need to know to fully participate will be provided to you in a detailed worship bulletin. We want your visit to be comfortable so that you may fully experience God’s presence, whether you are just visiting or looking for a church home.
Please be sure to fill out a communication card and drop it in the offertory plate so that we may connect with you and answer any questions you may have about Saint Andrew’s.

We hope to visit with you at Saint Andrew’s and welcome you to our church.
