Welcome to St. Andrew's!

St. Andrew's Lutheran Church is a community of Christians hearing and responding to God's Word - Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh - in worship and in service.

All people are welcome to share in the community at St. Andrew's. We are an energetic, diverse, and friendly congregation, with people of different races, economic status, ages, educational levels and sexual orientations, and our focus is both local and global.

St. Andrew's is a member of the ELCA - Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

Our congregation began in 1950. The first building was completed in that year. In 1996 the congregation of Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Los Angeles joined us, and funds from the sale of their property gave us the needed resources to consider a building program. At our 50th anniversary in 2000, we began the planning process for our new building.

For our size, we are more diverse than most churches in our area, and we celebrate that diversity as a foretaste of God's radically inclusive kingdom. We are also extremely children-friendly, and rejoice in the natural exuberance of kids.

We welcome and include everyone who comes to visit or be with us. We are convinced that each one of our members and friends is a blessing and a gift from God to this community. And so we are rich!

Our namesake, St. Andrew, was the first apostle to follow Jesus Christ, and he was also a convincing missionary who brought others to meet the Lord. Andrew was martyred because he remained faithful to Jesus. He refused to stop telling others about his faith. Our community strives to show the faith and courage of Andrew today!
