St. Andrew's Episcopal Church came into being in 1877, in the midst of a Religious Awakening that swept through northeastern Vermont between 1870 and 1880, during which St. Andrew's and other churches were built. Ground was broken for the new Gothic style church building on November 16, 1877. The cornerstone of Brunswick granite, with a raised St. Andrew's Cross, was laid on St. Andrew's Day, November 30, 1877. The weather held for seven weeks so that the men could work on the building in their shirtsleeves until January 2, 1878. The parish held its first service in the new building on Easter Sunday, April 21, 1878; and on August 3, 1881, the church, which cost about $8,000.00 to build, was consecrated by the Rt. Rev. William Bissell, Bishop of Vermont. The building was free of debt.

This house of God grew rapidly between 1876 and 1881. The first Rector, Nathaniel Putnam, baptized 148 peope during that time, and the records indicate that 129 people were confirmed. By 1900 there were about 200 communicants.

Throughout the years, the church has been graced with many memorial gifts. The oldest gift was the E.G. and G. Hook and Hastings tracker organ with 397 pipes. The organ was given in memory of Ellen G. Griswold by her husband, Civil War captain Edward G. Griswold, in June, 1882.

In 1941, under the leadership of the Rector, The Rev. Stanley P. Jones, a Guild Hall was built in the church basement. This was later to be known as Jones Hall.

In 1956, the Church celebrated its 75th anniversary. The Rev. George A. Heald was Rector, and the Rt. Rev. Vedder Van Dyke was Bishop of the Diocese. The anniverary was celebrated on November 25th of that year. Among other memorial gifts, an altar was given in memory of the Rev. John H. Klaren and his wife Susan, buy their children. The Rev. Klaren was rector of the parish in 1923-1924.

On August 2, 1981 St. Andrew's joyfully celebrated its 100th anniversary. The Rt. Rev. Robert S. Kerr, Bishop of Vermont, was Celebrant and Preacher at the commemorative service. The Rev. John Flora, Rector, was ably assisted in the festivities by the Rev. Richard Phillips. On display were duplicated copies of the original Articles of Association as well as newspaper clippings, bibles, prayerbooks and hymnals.

From November 1979 to November 1983, worship services were held in Jones Hall in an effort to conserve fuel.

Restorations to the building and grounds over the years have included a major organ restoration project, repair and maintenance of the stained-glass windows, installation of six new memorial windows, and a parish office in Jones Hall. In 1996 the church concluded a successful Preservation Fund drive which resulted in major repairs to the church belfry, as well as repairing and painting the outside of the Church. On Easter Day, 1996, the church bell rang for the first time in about twenty-five years.

 Since the beginning of the parish, 24 rectors have served St. Andrew's Church.

The story of St. Andrew's would not be complete without giving thanks and praise for the thousands of people who have worshipped here and who have given generously of their time and talent for the Glory of God and the work of this Church.
