An Episcopal community in Ojai, California
Rooted in love.
Open to all.
Here we follow Jesus by making room for one another, attending to beauty, and caring for the place we call home.
Sundays at St. Andrew's
Ancient practice.
Fresh expressions.
Our worship follows a pattern of prayer, Scripture, and Holy Communion that Christians have shared for centuries, shaped by the Book of Common Prayer. Through these familiar words and actions, we open ourselves to God’s presence. At the table, we receive bread and wine made holy, trusting that Christ meets us there and strengthens us to love and serve.
10:00 a.m.
Holy Eucharist, Rite II
An expansive celebration in contemporary language with music and chanted prayers. Our liturgy draws from the rich traditions of the worldwide Church alongside prayers and expressions shaped here in Ojai for this place and time. Coffee and conversation follow in the parish hall.What We Heard

Children at St. Andrew's
Children belong here.
We have created an open space inside the church where children can gather with toys and books while remaining part of our worship. Children—in all their energy, curiosity, noise, and wonder—are vital to our worshipping community.
Activity bags are ready.
Children are welcome to choose a bag filled with quiet activities to enjoy during worship.
First Sundays
A Sunday shaped with children in mind.
On the first Sunday of each month, our 10 a.m. worship places a special emphasis on children. Licensed volunteers lead them in their own story and craft time, and the children rejoin us for Holy Communion. After the service, the children host the parish fellowship hour.

Blessing of the Animals
A single service joyously celebrating St. Francis, our companion animals, and God's goodness in the natural order. Bring your animal friends or a picture if they are not feeling sociable. All will be blessed. Companion animals who have "crossed the rainbow bridge" are remembered in the prayers. Bring pictures or mementos to place on a special altar where we honor these dear ones.
