St Andrews Evangelical Lutheran Church

St Andrew’s is a neighborhood church with a tradition of commitment to Westchester County.

We invite new friends to an encounter with the Living God. Our worship follows an order, which varies by season, with uplifting music, Bible reading, an inspiring message and a sharing in Holy Communion.

Worship is a time to consider our lives, to be open to God’s voice, to be reminded of God’s promises, to pray, to be grateful, and to receive the gift of God’s unrelenting love with bread and wine.

Children’s Ministry

At St Andrew’s, we work to give children and youth a set of experiences, stories and tools that will serve as a foundation for the growth of their faith through their whole lives. We explore the stories of the Bible and practice what it means to follow Jesus. We believe that children also grow through learning how to pray and through making good friends.

Sunday School

Every Sunday during the school year, children aged preschool through 7th grade gather for large group worship, followed by Christian instruction. Our weekly small group Bible lesson involves discussion, crafts, skits, games and prayer. We finish with snacks. Each year is capped with a grade level milestone, such as the Lord’s Prayer or memory verses.

Youth Choir

Our youth choir is open to all grade school children, rehearsing every Sunday during the School year.

First Communion

Fourth graders participate in classes each Spring with our Pastor to prepare them for receiving Holy Communion.

Confirmation

We help teens craft an identity in Christ, and encourage and equip them to live out the call God has on their lives. Our 8th & 9th grade formation program involves bi-weekly classes, following the themes of our Lutheran catechism.

Youth Activities

Teens participate in weekend camps, day trips, service opportunities, and youth evenings.
