St. Andrew's

Orthodox Church

"...'Come and see.' They came and saw."

(John 1)

And thus, we have the meeting of the Holy and All-praised Andrew, the First-called of the Apostles.

Orthodoxy

The Orthodox Church is a body of believers: fifteen self-governing churches sharing a common faith, liturgical and sacramental tradition, and history beginning in Jerusalem, approximately 33 A.D.

Blessed art You O Christ Our God

You have revealed the fishermen as most wise

By sending down upon them the Holy Spirit

Through them You drew the world into Your net

O Lover of Man, Glory to You!

The First Called

The Holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called was the first of the Apostles to follow Christ, and he later brought his own brother, the holy Apostle Peter, to Christ. (John 1:35-42).
