Welcome

For over 135 years now, St. Andrew's has welcomed people into a community of faith "beside the tracks" in downtown Ayer, Massachusetts. When people describe St. Andrew's they use words like: 'welcome,' 'relaxed,' and 'accepting.' We believe that a church should be a community that embraces the uniqueness of each individual. We welcome and care for all people at every stage of their spiritual journey, and we seek to create opportunities for faith in God to be discovered, renewed and put into action.

Please read our welcome message!

Mission

We seek to grow in faith as individuals and as a community, to glorify God as revealed in Jesus Christ and to nurture those around us. We reach out to share His Word and His Love with all people, especially those in need.

"Will you strive for Justice & Peace, and respect the Dignity of every human being?"

Rooted in the Baptismal Covenant, this promise reminds us that following Christ is lived out through striving for justice and peace and honoring the dignity of every person.

Silent Hike

Sunday, March 29 (3:00 PM)

Join this easy silent walk at Ayer's Pine Meadow Conservation Land. After our welcoming circle, we will remain silent except for a few breaks along the way. These beautiful trails pass along ponds and through woods. Eagles, woodpeckers, osprey, beavers, and yellow spotted salamanders have all been seen here. Our route will depend on weather and how the group feels, but plan on at least 90 minutes outdoors. Wear close toed shoes and dress for the weather. Bring snacks and water. Trail may be muddy. Bring binoculars. Parking area is at approximately 72 Groton Harvard Road in Ayer.
