St. Andrew’s is a parish of the Episcopal Diocese of Central Pennsylvania,
part of The Episcopal Church, the only US-based member of the worldwide Anglican Communion.
Our Mission
We, a loving and inclusive community united in Christ, both joyfully and humbly celebrate our tradition and faith through worship, fellowship, spiritual formation, and prayer.
With our commitment to love, justice, and peace for all peoples, we stand ever ready to share with others the bounty of God’s grace to God’s greater glory.
Episcopal Values
As Episcopalians, we believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe in following the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death and resurrection saved the world, and we are committed to living the way of God’s unconditional, unselfish, sacrificial, and redemptive love.
The Episcopal Church has a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being. All sacraments of the church, including Holy Matrimony, are open to all people regardless of gender identity, expression, or sexual orientation. We ordain people to the offices of bishop, priest, and deacon without discrimination. Laypeople and clergy cooperate as leaders at all levels of our church.
In 2023 we installed 52 solar panels on our building, with financial assistance from a private donor as well as from the federal Inflation Reduction Act. We strive to be good stewards of God’s creation and are working to expand our creation care efforts.
