The Historic
A Place for Embrace
All of us have enough divisiveness in our lives, and enough frustration. Why not spend one hour of your week in a Place for Embrace, where you can sing, hear an uplifting message, and surround yourself with Love and Embrace?
The Episcopal Church is a welcome place for Christians who are seeking to know Jesus better, meet Him for the first time, or have questions. We are an open and affirming community of believers, who see God's beauty in every person no matter their race, gender, sexuality, or economic circumstances.
St. Andrew's is a 130 year old historically African-American Parish that serves its neighbors and is working to bring cultural change and healing to the streets.

Christmas Eve @ St. Andrew's
with Heartwarming Children's Christmas Pageant December 24th, 2025 - 6pm
Christmas Eve at St. Andrew's will be a warm and loving expression of Christmas Joy. We will worship together, hear an inspirational message of the hope that our Lord Jesus Christ offers the world, and sing the beautiful hymns that make this season such a beautiful time of reconnecting with God and Family. We invite all children to grab a costume and participate in the Christmas Pageant.

Do you Belong at St. Andrew's?
The Short answer is, YES!
Who You Are
You are someone who has a deep sense of the spiritual part of life. Maybe you're not sure about religions or religious people, but you're a seeker, and you aren't satisfied with easy answers. You know that the world can be better and that you have a part to play. You're looking for a way to engage and you know that we can achieve more when we work together cooperatively. You love people for who they are. You Belong Here.
We are a historically Black Episcopal Church, founded in 1894. We are located just a few miles outside of downtown Cincinnati in the Evanston neighborhood. We are also an LGBTQ+ affirming, racially and socio-economically diverse community of believers. We are engaged in social justice and community-based initiatives in our neighborhood and our city.
Who We Are
What we Believe
Though we do things as human beings that hurt one another, hurt creation, and hurt God, God loves us and always encourages us to do better and love more fully. We have an example of God's love for us in the life, ministry, and sacrificial love shown to us by Jesus Christ. All people no matter what they look like, who they love, or how they express their identity is a beloved child of God. You Belong Here.
The Episcopal Church is a branch of the worldwide Anglican Communion. We affirm the goodness of all of God's people. We accept all people for who God made them to be. We support all transformations of life that lead God's people to a closer relationship with the divine. We are traditional, forward-moving, and sacramental.
