We moved to our current location at 505 Bullseye Lake Road in the summer of 2005. Before our church was finished, we were all invited to write our prayers, thoughts, and dreams on the concrete subfloor, before the builders laid the stone floor. Our prayers are now sealed within our new church.
The entrance to the new St. Andrew’s is through the gathering space. This large, high-ceilinged area is where people meet before and after services. Most church functions are also held here.
The sanctuary (worshiping space) is entered through an archway. Above this arch is the Rose Window. At the front of the sanctuary is a large sculpture, The Risen Christ. In the wall behind the altar, two small bas relief doors depict The Last Supper and The Healing of a Blind Man. The cupboard behind The Last Supper holds the reserved sacrament and is known as the tabernacle. The cupboard behind The Healing of the Blind Man is called an aumbry. It contains oils used for anointment.
On the south wall of our church is a columbarium surrounding a Celtic cross. This holds the ashes of beloved family and friends who have died.
At the back of the sanctuary is the organ. It was built in 1889 and restored in 2007.
Outside the sanctuary is a walkway, or cloister. The stained-glass windows in the cloister were brought from old St. Andrew’s.
