St. Andrew's by-the-Sea Episcopal Church

About this church

St. Andrew's by-the-Sea Episcopal Church in Pacific Beach, San Diego, holds worship on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. at 1050 Thomas Avenue, in person and livestreamed to its Facebook page. The service lasts about an hour and follows a liturgical pattern: four Scripture readings and a short sermon, prayers of the people, the passing of the peace, and Holy Communion with bread and wine. A service leaflet with the readings is handed out at the door, a choir sings an anthem during the offering, and the website says casual dress is common. Children and dogs are welcome.

Children can sit with their parents, use a play area called the Prayground, or attend Sunday school, which starts at 10:30 in the hall above the preschool. A youth group for grades 6 through 12 meets once a month after church, with diocesan events such as retreats mixed in. Ministries include acolytes, altar guild, lectors, and chalice bearers, and the site lists a Tuesday evening meal for people who are hungry and small groups, including a Wednesday women's Bible study that pauses for summer. Street parking is usually available, with a few spaces in the alley off Dawes Street. A weekly e-newsletter and a visitor card are available online. Confirm details on the website.
