St. Andrew Lutheran Church Parroquia Luterana San Andrés

West Chicago, Illinois

There is a place for you.

A welcoming, multicultural community gathered to worship, grow deeper in faith, and serve our neighbors with the love of Christ.

Our doors are wide open to people from all walks of life.

St. Andrew Lutheran Church is a community of faith located in the city of West Chicago, in the far western suburbs of Chicago. We are a very eclectic congregation. We have senior members in their 90s and many young children in their first years of life; some of our members have been with the congregation since its founding over 50 years ago, while many are new to the community.

Together we strive to be the kind of church described in the Bible, praising God through meaningful worship, practical teaching, and uplifting music. Growing deeper in the mysteries of faith, building genuine friendships, and loving and serving people in our area and the world is what we are all about.

Whether you are investigating Christianity for the first time or are a committed Christian who wants to grow deep spiritual roots, there is a place for you at St. Andrew. You will find that this is a place where Jesus' love and grace is experienced and shared.

"For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them."
Matthew 18:20

Events & Calendar

God's Story at St. Andrew

St. Andrew is not a building, a program, or a pastor; rather it is the story of God's people who have continued Jesus' ministry for over 50 years in the western part of DuPage County. It is the story of people encountering and experiencing the love of God and sharing it with others in Jesus' name.

The congregation celebrated its 50th Anniversary on Sunday, May 16, 2010, marking five decades of worship, community, and service in West Chicago.
