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.
Welcome Home
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
Our Mission
We gather together to encounter God's love through meaningful worship in English and Spanish, united in prayer, music, and the Word.
We are nurtured in our relationship with Jesus Christ through small groups, youth programs, children's ministry, and faith formation.
We are sent to share and care in Jesus' name through food distribution, PADS shelter support, ESL classes, and serving our neighbors.

What's Happening
Our Story
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.
