The Church of St. Paul & St. Andrew (United Methodist) is a community of Christians who gather to celebrate worship, support each other, study together and work for justice. We are a congregation committed to justice and reconciliation for all persons, regardless of age, race, economic or marital status, gender or sexual orientation.

SP&SA is a fast-growing, dynamic congregation with children and youth ministry programs as well as vital outreach to students, young adults, singles and gays & lesbians. Please click on the left to see more about our age-level ministries. Many of our members have a background or interest in the performing arts. We have a large all-volunteer choir, a professional theater and a great fellowship program.

Worship at SP&SA is different. Although the sanctuary is large, easily holding our two hundred worshippers, worship is an intimate spiritual experience. The music helps. We call on a variety of musical traditions, both for congregational singing and for the choir. The Gathering is a progressive Communion service. An alternative, non-traditional worship experience, The Gathering is an opportunity to rejuvenate your spirit, worship in community, and give your soul some rest. This service is on Monday evenings at St. Paul's Chapel on the campus of Columbia University. For more information on our Sunday morning service and our midweek worship, please click here.

Volunteer opportunities abound for those wishing to make a positive contribution to the life of the City. Work teams from the church have traveled to Appalachia, Cuba, and Honduras on mission outreach trips. Three congregations call our building home: Congregation B'nai Jeshurun, West-Park Presbyterian Church(PCUSA)& SP&SA. Interfaith dialogue forms an essential part of who we are.To hear more about programs like the West Side Campaign Against Hunger, Westside Ecumenical Ministry to the Elderly, our tutoring program, Homework Help, and our homless shelter, please click here.
