Welcome to St. Andrew's Church |
|
We're so glad that you are here! This is the website for St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Strathroy, Ontario, where Presbyterians have been worshiping together since 1863. St. Andrew's today is a growing congregation of about 200 people who are seeking God's guidance as we journey into the 21st century together. Our Mission Statement declares: "We at St. Andrew's are seeking to be a family of faith, supporting one another as we are led by the Holy Spirit to share God's Word and to be a visible and genuine example of Christ's love in our church, within our community, and beyond.” We hope that, in exploring this website, you might feel that you, too, would like to come and be a part of our church family and, more importantly, find out more about becoming a part of the family of God and living with Jesus Christ in your life. We hope to see you soon! |

Please join us for Worship Sundays at 10 a.m. On Sunday, June 6, we are celebrating the Sacrament of Holy Communion at our 10:00 service - all are welcome!
Beginning the first Sunday of June, worship begins at 10 a.m. for the summer, and returns to 11 a.m. the first Sunday after Labour Day. Join us afterwards for coffee, snacks and fellowship in the lower hall, immediately following the service. A great opportunity to spend some time with old friends and hopefully make some new ones! Remember – children are welcome too and are cared for in the Nursery and in Sunday School. |
