Jesus Calls Us…Come and See! Come and Grow! Come and Serve!

 

 
 
 
 

Welcome!

We are glad you have found us!  St. Andrew is all about reaching people with God’s radical acceptance and grace in Jesus Christ to make lives whole.  The journey of faith begins by recognizing how Jesus calls us.
Read more…
A Christ-follower in the 4th century by the name of Augustine wrote, “Our hearts are restless until they rest in you.”  In the restlessness of his heart, he heard the calling of Jesus.  You might know that same restlessness in your heart.  We know it too.

We have found rest in God and invite you to join our prayer day by day to:
  • See God more clearly in lives and all creation.  All are invited to come and see Jesus in our worship and hospitality.
  • Love God more dearly as followers.  Everyone is invited to come and grow in Jesus through our study and prayer groups. 
  • Follow God more nearly in acts of service.  All are invited to come and serve Jesus through WHO- Winter Hospitality Overflow, our Christian preschool, and Orchard’s Kids Club.

God’s dream for St. Andrew is our vision—

bringing healing and wholeness to lives and all creation.

 
 

Jesus calls each of us here and into a deeper relationship with God. We are defined as beloved children of God and this truth is transforming. The gifts of God are for all... All abilities and disabilities All believers and unbelievers All races and ethnicities All religions and creeds All gender identities All countries of origin All sexual orientations All immigrants and refugees All economic levels All spoken and signed languages. All…no exceptions!

This is Christ's church, and there is a place for you here.

 

Children Are Welcome

We joyfully welcome children of all ages and encourage parents to have them join in the worship service. Nursery care is available for infants through age 5 during Sunday morning worship services.

 
 

Join us this Sunday

Worship Services are at 8:30 am & 11 am

 

Pastor Cindy Muse Accepts Call to St. Andrew!

 
St. Andrew Lutheran Church of Vancouver, Washington, proudly announces the installation of the fifth lead pastor in its history. The Rev.

Pastor Cindy received a Master of Divinity degree from Lutheran Theological Seminary (Philadelphia, PA) and a Master of Arts degree from Wartburg Theological Seminary (Dubuque, IA).
