Brotherhood of Saint Andrew

The Brotherhood of St. Andrew is an international ministry to men and boys in the Anglican/Episcopal Church. The Brotherhood was founded in 1883 and was incorporated in 1908 by an Act of Congress, signed by President Theodore Roosevelt.

The incorporation reads: “The sole purpose of the Brotherhood is the spread of Christ’s Kingdom.” The mission is to bring men and boys into the deepest possible relationship with Our Lord Jesus Christ by following the rules of prayer, study and service.

The fellowship serves as a portal to a spiritual life in today’s environment. Brothers are focused on helping men avoid feelings of being alone; assisting men to identify their individual purpose and enabling them to leave a legacy for their families.

On this spiritual journey the Brotherhood of St. Andrew offers an opportunity for Brothers to be accountable to themselves and to God. This framework sets in motion their actions as an example for others to follow.

On a local basis you will find these disciples sponsoring prayer breakfasts, Boy Scout troops, prison ministry programs, youth summer camps and efforts to aid single parents and the elderly in their daily lives. The men, carrying on their traditions from World War I, are also deeply committed to care for the troops, forming veteran-friendly congregations and programs such as Patriot Paws.

This is in addition to numerous fund raising projects to support their parish, charitable giving and outreach programs.

Come and see how we walk the spiritual journey together.
