About this church
Saint Andrew Lutheran Church is a Charlestown congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, shaped by weekly Communion, varied worship, education, music, service, and an explicitly welcoming outlook. Established as a mission in 1986 and dedicated in its present building in 1990, it now supports ministries including a food pantry, personal-needs assistance, and an outdoor sanctuary.
The current summer schedule, from June 21 through August, is Sunday worship at 8:30 and 10:00 a.m. From September through May, the second service moves to 10:30. Worship is described as diverse, progressive, and creative; Holy Communion is celebrated weekly, and the second gathering streams online. Parking includes marked accessible spaces. During the September-to-May program year, Children’s Church for preschool through fifth grade begins after the sermon at the second service. AFFIRM confirmation for grades six through eight meets first and third Sundays at 10:30. These seasonal distinctions matter for summer visitors. Public pages do not specify dress, service duration, child check-in, secure pickup, nursery care, volunteer screening, or the complete accessibility of entrances and worship spaces. Because summer and program-year hours differ, visitors should confirm the transition date before planning around the later service.
