Worship
Let us worship in the beauty of God’s holiness
As St. Andrew’s on-the-Hill Episcopal Church, we strive to be a community open to all. Led by the Holy Spirit, we pledge, with God’s help, to use our gifts, talents, and traditions to make the love of God known in the world. We confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior through joyful obedience to His call to service and reconciliation.
Formation
Come nurture your Spirit through worship, Bible study, contemplative gardening, Godly Play, the Daughters of the King Advent Quiet Day, and other seasonal offerings. When we nourish our spiritual lives, we are enlivened to go forth in service to the world.
Parish Life
We engage our communal life together through Contemplative Prayer, Daughters of the King, Episcopal Church Women, a Mens’ Breakfast gathering, Hospitality, and special events.
Community Engagement
We serve alongside members of our Canton/Haywood County community through Backpacks of Love, Holy Smoke Bar-b-que, the Canton Community Kitchen, the Pigeon River Cooperative Wider Circle ministries, the Canton Missional Network, and the Pathways Emergency and Short-term Adult and Family Shelter. We share a Free Little Library in our parking lot on Academy St. with books for adults and children.
