About Our Church

In 1959, Mission Inc. of the United Church of Christ bought a piece of property at 2608 Browns Lane, including an old farmhouse.  One hundred two people and the Rev. Gilbert Bumb felt the call of God to serve the St. Regis/Louisville communities.  The spirit of God led the congregation to build a sanctuary and an education building, and the old farmhouse was no more.  By 1998, God was speaking with another congregation with major changes on the way.  In April, 1999, St. Matthew UCC joined with St. Andrew.  That combination built a new facility including classrooms, fellowship hall and kitchen and dedicated it to the glory of God. 

Who We Are

The members and friends of St. Andrew UCC welcome all persons, regardless of ethnic heritage, sexual orientation, religious backgrounds, etc.

• We believe that each person is unique and valuable.
• We believe that each person is on a spiritual journey, and that each of us is at a different stage of that journey.
• We believe in the power of peace, and work for non-violent solutions to local, national, and international problems.

About the UCC

Intelligent dialogue and a strong independent streak sometimes cause the United Church of Christ (UCC) and its 1.2 million members to be called a “heady and exasperating mix.” The UCC tends to be a mostly progressive denomination that unabashedly engages heart and mind. And yet, the UCC somehow manages to balance congregational autonomy with a strong commitment to unity among its nearly 5,600 congregations—despite wide differences among many local congregations on a variety of issues.
