Parish Background

Today, St. Andrew’s is the spiritual home of a multi-ethnic congregation, composed of a diverse mixture of converts and born Orthodox. Families are being attracted by our rich cycle of services, congregational singing, and our adult, youth, and children’s programs. As the northernmost outpost of the Diocese of the South, we are also drawing families from the Fredericksburg area. On May 1 (Pascha Sunday) of 2005, we held our first event in our newly built church hall.
