St Andrew's By the Sea UMC 2001 Calle Frontera, San Clemente, CA 92673

"This church does so much for the community and beyond! In the few months I have been attending, they have fed the unsheltered, supplied a large shipping container worth of food for those in need, built houses for the less fortunate in Mexico, collected donated goods for military families and the organization FAM and supported the arts. Pastor Karl is an amazing leader and doesn’t just preach but he leads by example. The programs director, Emily is a dynamo! She works so hard to create amazing and everlasting memories for all the children in attendance. This church is what a church is suppose to be! Welcoming to all people!!"

"5 star church with an outstanding minister and congregation!"

"Wonderful church. Pastor Adiel enables you to leave church each Sunday feeling great about what you can do in week ahead for people. We have wonderful missions right here in San Clemente to help the poor, kids who need help in math, reading, science, and our military families at Camp Pendleton."

"St. Andrew’s by-the-Sea (SABTS) is a multi-generational church family of people who are living out of authentic, messy spirituality and genuine worship. It is a church where the rubber meets the road in mission and outreach. SABTS believes that God’s love knows no limits and extends to everyone regardless of race, color, creed, gender, nationality, sexual preference or economic status. It is a church family that supports those in recovery from the struggles of life, including addiction, abuse, grief, and economic hardship. At St. Andrew’s, you don’t have to look like the “cool kids” to come to church. Those with money and those without stand side by side in faith, fellowship and mission. The church family is full of people willing to ask questions and think, doubt and trust, try and fail, as they travel the journey of faith together."
