History

The parish was formed from Grace Community Church, a non-denominational congregation which was received into the Orthodox Church in February 1997, following a long period of seeking. A longer description of the interesting story of this large-scale conversion to the True Faith can be found in our parish history section on this web site.

Clergy

The parish is led by Fr. David Hovik, who led the parish through its conversion and continues to serve as its pastor. Fr. David is reachable through his email address.

Choir

At St. Andrew, we're immensly proud of our Church choir, which is lead by Laurie Swanson. Orthodox liturgy is just not possible without a choir, and we're fortunate to have one that has been truly blessed. In the near future, we hope to be able to provide some sample sound clips at this web site. Stay tuned...
