We have two services on Sunday mornings:

8:00 AM Service: This early service is a simpler, smaller gathering. There is no singing, and it is a more meditative experience. It regularly uses the Rite I form of Holy Eucharist found in the Book of Common Prayer, a form which uses more traditional language. 

10:30 AM Service: This service includes congregational singing as well as anthems by our choir. It regularly uses the Rite II form of Holy Eucharist found in the Book of Common Prayer. You’ll find children and youth participating in worship, serving as acolytes. For those who would find it helpful, Children’s Chapel is available for ages 4 through 5th grade, and nursery care is open for children ages 0-3.  And, of course, Children are always welcome in worship at St. Andrew’s! We have bags filled with all kinds of quiet activities to occupy younger children during the service. Click here for more information about your Children’s & Youth Ministries. 

Parking

Located in the heart of the residential area of historic Hilton Village, St. Andrew’s does not have a dedicated parking lot. There is lots of free street parking available, as well as two lots at Hilton Elementary School that you can use on Sunday mornings. 

Greeters and ushers

The entrance to the church is on River Road. When you arrive, one of our ushers or greeters will welcome you and provide you with a program for the day’s service. They can also direct you to restrooms, the nursery, and answer any questions you may have. 

For Children on Sunday morning

For those who would find it helpful, Children’s Chapel is available for ages 4 through 5th grade, and nursery care is open for children ages 0-3.  And, of course, Children are always welcome in worship at St. Andrew’s! We have bags filled with all kinds of quiet activities to occupy younger children during the service. 

Handicapped Accessibility

All of St. Andrew’s is handicapped accessible. There is a ramp at the River Road entrance to the church and an automatic handicapped entryway adjacent to the Main Street parish building entrance. Once inside the building, there are elevators that will provide access to all areas of the building. A handicapped accessible restroom is also available in our Youth House. 

Service dogs welcome

Service dogs are always welcome at St. Andrew’s. Animals are one of God’s great gifts to us.  The loyalty and affection of our pets and service animals can be for us a reminder of the way God loves us – completely and abundantly.  What a blessing that some animals are able to serve as helpers and companions to humans who need a little extra help! 

You can learn more about the Episcopal Church here. Episcopalians subscribe to the historic Nicene Creed and the Apostles Creed as central statements of our beliefs. We consider the Bible to be divinely inspired. The Eucharist (Holy Communion) is our central act of Christian worship. The Book of Common Prayer guides our liturgy in public worship and serves as a major source of unity for Anglicans around the world.

Holy Baptism is full initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into Christ’s Body the Church. The bond which God establishes in Baptism is indissoluble. Click here to learn more about getting baptized at St. Andrew's.

St. Andrew's Funeral Customary contains advice and references for yourself or for loved ones.  It also has suggestions regarding many of the questions which arise at the time of death or serious illness. Click here for the Funeral Customary. 

St. Andrew's Memorial Garden is a permanent place for the ashes of those who made their home among the St. Andrew’s family. Any parishioner or her/his immediate family may be interred in there. Ashes are interred with the assurance that St. Andrew’s will maintain the site as a place of memorial. A leaf, with the name of the deceased, dates of birth, and death, are placed on the Tree of Remembrance in St. Nicholas Chapel. For more information, contact the church office.
