Welcome! We at St Andrew are Orthodox Christians, worshipping according to the ancient Western Rite practiced by the early Christians in the West for the first 1,000 years of Christianity. We are canonical (mainline) Orthodox in the Antiochian Patriarchate headquartered in Damascus, Syria, under His Beatitude Patriarch IGNATIUS IV, and in the self-ruled Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America under His Eminence Metropolitan PHILIP (Saliba).
Our regular services include Vespers every Saturday at 4 P.M. and every Sunday Matins at 8:30 A.M. followed by Divine Liturgy at 9A.M. We also often have Wednesday night Bible study. Please call (352) 223-8938 for information about the Bible study. Other services for Holy Days will be announced.
Please feel free to browse our web site. More pages will be added soon. We would love for you to join us for worship and welcome you to call or email us with questions anytime. God's blessings!
Collect for St Andrew
Almighty God, who didst give such grace unto Thy holy Apostle, St Andrew, that he readily obeyed the calling of Thy son Jesus Christ, and followed him without delay, grant unto us all, that we, being called by Thy holy Word may forthwith give up ourselves obediently to fulfill Thy holy commandments, through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
