At our best, we are dedicated not only to God and each other, but also to the wider community, expressing our spirituality through fellowship, prayer, art, music, and social justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our worship aspires to be innovative and progressive. We draw on a rich musical and liturgical experience that invites activity and reflection. We incorporate children and youth, explore different liturgies, value different preaching styles, and include varieties of music and art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St. Andrew\u2019s opened its doors in 1924. Our beautiful, traditional church sits on a hill at the entrance to Marblehead. The fieldstone and hardwood sanctuary features allegorical stained glass windows reminiscent of a country church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our parishioners are dedicated not only to each other but also to the wider community. In addition to Sunday worship services, St. Andrew\u2019s provides many opportunities for enriching faith and spiritual development, and also many creative outlets for volunteering time and talent. If you\u2019re new to the area or seeking a spiritual home, St. Andrew\u2019s warmly welcomes you to join us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
