St. Andrew's Episcopal Church

About this church

St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church is a Grand Rapids congregation seeking diversity, reconciliation, joyful compassion, and healing for people and the earth. Episcopal worship, Holy Communion, children and families, youth, ministries, and pastoral leadership create a community where liturgy and service belong together. Children are treated as full participants whose questions and noise are welcome rather than disruptions.

Sunday Holy Eucharist is celebrated at 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. The earlier service has no music and uses announced pages from the Book of Common Prayer; the later service includes hymns, psalms, spiritual songs, a complete liturgy booklet, nursery, and children’s programming. Both services include four Scripture readings and a homily, and all are invited forward at Communion while remaining seated is also respected. Children’s Spiritual Formation follows church from about noon to 1:00 p.m. and uses a Montessori-based approach that encourages learning and questions. Children may stay with their family in worship, and the nursery remains available when a child needs another space. The church also provides online worship. Public pages do not specify the nursery age range, detailed check-in procedure, parking, accessibility, or customary dress. First-time families can arrive for the 10:30 service and ask a greeter whether formation follows that week.
