The Episcopal Church
The Episcopal Church strives to live by the message of Christ, in which there are no outcasts and all are welcome. Walking a middle way between Roman Catholicism and Protestant traditions, we are a sacramental and worship-oriented church that promotes thoughtful debate about what God is calling us to do and be, as followers of Christ.

Camp Stevens
Camp Stevens is designed to be a community retreat center where parish and other groups come away from the bustle and distractions of urban life to deepen relationships with one another. The serene, natural setting brings welcome refreshment of spirit, mind and body, re-energizing participants for their common mission.
The parish of St. Andrew's goes to Camp Stevens for their annual retreat the first weekend in May.
