Worship with us

We gather together in worship as we rejoice, pray, and contemplate the wonder of God. Our worship is best described as traditional and relaxed. Please do not worry about what to wear and when to stand up; after all, Jesus wore sandals and we do too.

What We Believe

What we believe is centered around worship that engages the hearts and minds of this congregation. People of all ages and talents are united through the ancient and contemporary liturgy of The Episcopal Church.

We believe that in the gathered, worshipping community, the church is revealed as the Body of Christ, inspired and empowered by God’s Holy Spirit to do God’s work within our church family and in the world.

In a world clamoring for our attention, our prayers, songs, and the stories of scripture remind us of our basic identity in God, and call forth, praise and service.

Music

While the congregation is the primary singing ensemble for our liturgies, St. Andrew's On-the-Sound is fortunate to have a choir that assists in leading worship at the 10:30 AM Sunday service during the academic year and at special services throughout the year, such as during Holy Week and on Christmas Eve.

Our name says a lot about us: St. Andrew’s On-the-Sound. While not overlooking Wrightsville Sound, we are close enough to the beach that our basic attitude is pretty laid back. We can’t help but feel that we track a little sand into the church whenever we enter. Our worship is traditional, but relaxed; our focus is on living our faith as God’s family in this place. Young families with kids, retirees, and folks in between find a comfortable home here.

Bring your faith and your doubts, your experience and your questions, and, above all, your hopes. There is comfort and joy in our community as we share in worship, fellowship, learning, and service.

Getting Here

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21). We could as easily translate this as “where your money is…” and not miss the mark. When we give to support St. Andrew’s On-the-Sound we are helping to secure a place where our hearts feel at home. Everything we are as a loving community, our worship, our study, our service, and our play is founded on what we give together.
