St. Andrew's church is a Stephen Ministry Parish. The Stephen Ministry equips lay people to provide confidential, one-on-one Christian care to individuals in our congregation and others in the surrounding community who are experiencing difficulties in their lives. Please call any of our priests for more information.

St. Andrew's church has been recognized as an Energy Star Facility for 2009 by the Department of Energy. An Energy Star building has to be in the top 25% of all like facilities in the US in terms of energy use efficiency. We are the 7th house of worship, and the first Episcopal church, to be granted Energy Star status and are listed in the Energy Star online database. We have, over the last two years, implemented a number of policies & procedures, as indicated in our published energy profile, to minimize energy use. The EPA's Energy Star website at https://energystar.gov/istar/pmpam/ is an excellent starting point for improving a facility's energy footprint. We believe that what we have done, and continue to do, in this area is consistent with our overall mission as Christians and is a visible sign of our stewardship of God's gifts to us.

St. Andrew's church welcomes all people to participate with us in worship, education, and service to the community. Established in 1919, St Andrew's is one of the four original churches formed in Hilton Village. Our mother church is St. Paul's in downtown Newport News and is a part of the Diocese of Southern Virginia. The Diocese of Southern Virginia is comprised of 115 parishes and more than 170 clergy. The Diocese was formed in 1892 as a spin off from the Diocese of Virginia, which dates back four centuries to 1607.

As Episcopalians we are part of the American branch of the Anglican Communion, that worldwide Catholic and Apostolic Church transmitted to modern times through the Church of England and reformed at the time of the Protestant Reformation. Our worship is scriptural, sacramental, and prayerful. It seeks to express the beauty of our Catholic tradition, together with the freedom and warmth of our Protestant heritage.

You will find among us a healthy diversity. There are families large and small, and lots of singles. Our worship services, programs, and activities reflect this diversity and are designed to meet the needs of the entire parish.

The youth of the parish have many opportunities for growth, fellowship, and service. The Scouting programs for boys and girls are strong and have been in existence for over 50 years. Acolytes are a vital part of all services and Acolyting offers a service opportunity for youth in grades 3 thru 12. The Episcopal Youth Community, Jr through Sr High School meet weekly for fellowship and participates in a number of service projects annually, both locally and at various mission locations.

Our strong commitment to Christian Education is reflected in the diversity of offerings at all age levels on Sunday and throughout the week and our continuing support of The St. Andrew's Day School, which offers high quality education for preschool through fifth grade.

St. Andrew's has a long tradition of excellence in music and supports a full-time Minister of Music who directs adult and youth choirs, as well handbell and guitar choirs.

One of the most important group of ministries of St. Andrew's is our support to the outreach to the hungry and homeless of Newport News and beyond and our mission support to locations such as the Holy Cross Anglican School in Belize.

Key to who we are is exemplified by our vision:
