All Are Welcome
A lot of us are worried these days, looking for meaningful relationships and wanting to be seen and known and valued as we are, and St. Andrew's is a kind of informal, weird yet warm, old-fashioned yet kinda funky, answer to some of these ills.
You don't have to believe any sort of thing to come here and belong—it's a church where folks can be human together; visit and sing and share space, where awkward things happen, people of different generations become friends, and everyday people make contributions that matter. We're unapologetically pro-Jesus, seeing him as a revolutionary figure of change, compassion and belonging.
We are in solidarity and community with the poor, marginalized and LGBTQIA2S+ folks, and it’s super important to us that people who haven’t always been welcome in church or in society are honored here.
Sundays at 10:30am, 7600 N Hereford Ave., Portland

We are queer, we are immigrants, we are lawbreakers, we are misfits, we are social justice grannies, we are on the spectrum, we are survivors of religious abuse.
About Us
Church Can Be Hard!
It can be hard to step into a new church for the first time. It can be especially tough if church hasn't always been a safe or affirming place for you. If you are thinking about visiting St Andrew's, please know that you will be welcomed with dignity here. You'll be greeted by folks--including our priest--who are glad to see you, but you won't be pressured to do anything. There is tissue in most of the pews, because church can be an emotional place. You can choose whether or not to participate in the liturgy, or just let it wash over you. You might decide to visit a few times to help you decide if this community is a good fit for you. We trust and pray that the Spirit is guiding you as you seek a spiritual home.
