At St Andrew’s Episcopal Church, we offer baptism to people of all ages, celebrating the joy of new life in Christ.

Our church provides a beautiful setting for weddings, surrounded by love, faith, and blessings.
Confirmation - Strengthening Faith
Confirmation is a sacrament where individuals affirm their faith and publicly declare their commitment to follow Christ. Through the laying on of hands, the Holy Spirit is invoked to strengthen and empower individuals with the gifts needed for a faithful life. At St Andrew’s Episcopal Church, we provide guidance and preparation for confirmation, ensuring a meaningful and transformative experience.
Holy Eucharist - Nourishing the Soul
The Holy Eucharist, also known as the Lord's Supper or Holy Communion, is the central sacrament of our faith. In this sacred ceremony, we remember and participate in Christ's sacrifice, receiving His body and blood, symbolized by bread and wine. At St Andrew’s Episcopal Church, we celebrate this sacrament regularly, inviting all believers to partake and be spiritually nourished.

- Anointing of the Sick - This sacrament provides comfort and spiritual healing to those facing illness, physical or emotional pain. By anointing with holy oil and prayers, individuals receive strength and peace, entrusting themselves to God's loving care.
