Make a Pledge | St. Andrew's on the Sound

Come and see what God is doing in 2023

Andrew asked Jesus, a simple question:

“Where are you staying?”

Jesus replied with an invitation:

“Come and see.”

Jesus was inviting him to come see the community that he was beginning to form. St. Andrew’s On-the-Sound is important to us, but it is only a church when we, the “living stones,” come together.

We are rediscovering what it is like for “two or three to gather” and we are rediscovering what it is to worship, study, and play together. We are grateful for those who support this church by their presence Sunday to Sunday, and we invite others to join us again. One of the sentiments I hear most often these days is, “It’s better when we’re together.”

I am also deeply grateful to all of you who have supported St. Andrew’s financially through these difficult years. As we move forward into 2023, we can only do so with your continued support.

I believe strongly in the Episcopal expression of the Christian faith and how we express it at St. Andrew’s. I will be increasing my pledge this year, and I invite you to join me.

Enclosed is a pledge card for the 2023. Costs have risen over the past few years, and we ask you to prayerfully consider what you may give in 2023.

Faithfully,

Richard G. Elliott

Our name says a lot about us: St. Andrew’s On-the-Sound. While not overlooking Wrightsville Sound, we are close enough to the beach that our basic attitude is pretty laid back. We can’t help but feel that we track a little sand into the church whenever we enter. Our worship is traditional, but relaxed; our focus is on living our faith as God’s family in this place. Young families with kids, retirees, and folks in between find a comfortable home here.

Bring your faith and your doubts, your experience and your questions, and, above all, your hopes. There is comfort and joy in our community as share in worship, fellowship, learning, and service.

Plan Your Visit FAQs

Our namesake, St. Andrew was the first evangelist and came to Jesus trusting him as his teacher. Andrew wanted to learn, to know God, and to understand Jesus as Messiah.

We gather together in worship as we rejoice, pray, and contemplate the wonder of God. Our worship is best described as traditional and relaxed. Please do not worry about what to wear and when to stand up; after all Jesus wore sandals and we do too.

At St. Andrew’s On-the-Sound we do not tell you what to believe. You are invited into the journey at whatever place you are in your life. We are all sharing this journey together.

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21). We could as easily translate this as “where your money is…” and not miss the mark. When we give to support St. Andrew’s On-the-Sound we are helping to secure a place where our hearts feel at home. Everything we are as a loving community, our worship, our study, our service, and our play is founded on what we give together.
