Through worship, we connect with God, with others, and are equipped to connect to the community and beyond, as faithful witnesses of Jesus' love. Worshiping together helps us to live lives of shared ministry.

By the power of the Holy Spirit through Scripture and sermons, both the child and adult are nurtured in faith formation. We worship and celebrate with music, which helps us praise and thank God for all that we have been given. All who call upon the name of Jesus are invited to come to the altar rail to receive Holy Communion.

Collaborations and exchanges with other church choirs have been a part of the variety of its participation and leadership.

Various Music Ensembles

There are ample opportunities for participation in other instrumental ensembles, including a woodwind choir and a brass choir.

Our Pipe Organ

Saint Andrew's is pleased to be the home of a wonderful pipe organ. It was built under contract by the Reuter Organ Company in Lawrence, KS, and installed in February 1992. Its three divisions - two manual and one pedal - contains 16 stops and 19 ranks. Hailed for its flexibility, it is heard regularly on Sunday mornings and in concerts and recitals, as well as in other church events.
