About us
We acknowledge with respect the history, spirituality, and culture of the Indigenous peoples with whom the Upper Canada Treaties were signed, the territory wherein our church resides, and our responsibility as Treaty members. We also honour the heritage and gifts of Métis people. May our actions be guided by our commitment to reconciliation.

As Disciples of Christ, we will embrace compassion, caring, and unconditional love.
A note from the Rector:
The people of St. Andrew’s have been making a difference in the community since 1794. We are a warm and welcoming congregation discovering together what it means to be followers of Jesus in our town and for our time. Even though we are a historic church, we strive to be fresh, responsive and forward-thinking in our relationship with God and in our care for others. We are motivated by God’s unconditional love, which we celebrate through inspiring worship and share by working together to serve the community and form meaningful relationships. You will be welcome and embraced here - no matter who you are, where you’ve been, what you’ve done or not done, or where you’ve come from.
So much has changed in life, yet the things that truly matter are constant and immovable: God loves us and, because of that love, we love and care for one another. So, whether you're checking out church for the first time or returning after some time away, we have a place for you. Sunday Services are the main event around here, and we invite you to join us. Come dressed as you want, asking as many questions as you have. Whoever you are, and wherever you find yourself on the journey of faith, you are welcome here!
