We are the Episcopal Church of
Downers Grove Illinois
Services of
the Episcopal Church began in Downers Grove in 1880, when a few
families met in homes and rented buildings.
The
cornerstone for a church building at Franklin and Forest was laid in
1897; that building served the congregation until the 1950’s.
Construction on the rest of the building began in 1955, and was
finished in phases over the next several years. Our
Newest Wing
was completed in late 2005 and we received official occupancy just
after the 1st of the year 2006.
Currently
St. Andrew’s is home to approximately 700 baptized members of all
ages, drawn from Downers Grove and the surrounding suburbs.
It is an
active, friendly parish which offers a variety of programs for both
children and adults.
Our life
together is rooted in our faith in Jesus Christ, strengthened by
God’s love, and lived out through our worship, study, service and
fellowship.
We encourage
everyone to "Come Grow
With Us" by becoming
active members of Saint Andrew's Church and participating fully in
the good news of Jesus Christ.
