this is Christ’s Church. There is a place for you here….
“Sometimes it’s the sermon. Sometimes it’s the music. A lot of the time it’s the relationships. Sometimes it’s just being with people who share the same values, where you know that you are welcome. Soccer uniform or a suit, sneakers or heels, blue hair or tattoos, it doesn’t matter where you’ve been, what matters is where you are going. What matters is your relationship with God and how you take that into the community to share God’s love with others.” ~Karin K., life-long member
Sunday Worship 9:30 aM - in person
Worship should be relevant, joyous, fun and yet reverent. At St. Andrew, we enjoy making this a reality.
Our service draws from our rich liturgical history with a lectionary (sometimes abandoned for the day for a relevant side journey) and seasons of the Church year. We enjoy an occasional drama play/skit or handbell performance and enjoy mixing things up every so often. We gather for ONE service at 9:30 am. We welcome the musical talents of our congregation members to bring special selections or songs to the worship experience. We enjoy singing a wide array of music drawing from resources that are both traditional and more contemporary, but we do not have a praise band.
Sunday Sermons are available online the week following the service here.
Please see our link to our COVID Guidelines for more information.
Your Spiritual Life
Where you’ve Been is Not as important as where you are going
Growing your relationship with God is paramount at St Andrew. What life has thrown at you is not the gate keeper to your relationship with God. The love of God is open and available to everyone. The Bible lessons, sermon, prayers and music selections of our worship are all woven together to try to bring the Bible’s messages to life for us today, and to prepare us to face the challenges that confront us when we leave this place.
Outside of worship, we offer occasional Bible or Themed/Book Studies to help you explore the Word of God and how we are called to be Christ in our communities. Check our Events page for current studies offered.
Life Events
Baptisms, Weddings, Confirmation & Funerals
Baptisms, Weddings, Confirmation and Funerals are part of the faith life of St. Andrew. These can be discussed and arranged through conversation with Pastor Psomi. Please contact the office at 973-887-6713 or office@elcaAndy.org These life events require the congregation to promise to support you, and we can only really do that when the St. Andrew community of faith gets to know you. However, we do want to be a part of your faith journey and invite you to inquire about these services. We hope to see you soon so that you can join us on the journey...
Get Involved in Worship!
Worship is savored best when you’ve had a hand in its creation. Once you’ve become a part of the family of God at St. Andrew, we invite you to journey deeper and extend the invitation to worship. If it interests you, we hope you will become a part of the story of welcome at St. Andrew by serving as an usher, reader, altar guild member, worship leader, communion assistant, fellowship host or play an instrument. There are so many ways to help make our welcome your story too.
