Share a story
Community prayer and worship are at the heart of what we do at St. Andrew's. At least once a week, we gather together to hear God's word proclaimed in scripture, song, and sermon, and to celebrate Christ's presence among us in the sacrament of Holy Communion.
The mission of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church of College Park is to be a welcoming and supportive community of faith which offers itself to the Lord Jesus Christ in corporate worship which has a special care for all of God’s children in its neighborhood and which stimulates its members to be open to God’s call to risk, to grow, and to use their gifts in service to others.
In support of our mission, the members of St. Andrew’s strive to:
Provide a supportive environment for open communications within our parish
Experience more deeply the Christian tradition
Provide opportunities for new people to enter into this community
Rediscover continually that we belong to each other and are one in Christ
Participate wholeheartedly in corporate worship
Know and care about all individuals in our parish
Familiarize ourselves with, and serve human needs within parish boundaries
Develop a positive relationship between the parish and the college community
Grow in our awareness of, and response to, societal needs beyond the parish
Strengthen our relationship with the diocese.
