St. Andrew's, also known as "The College Church,"
was organized in the chapel of Lenoir College on January 29, 1893. St. Andrew's
was built to provide a place of worship to local residents without making them
go downtown. The current St. Andrew's was completed in 1951.
St. Andrew's and Lenoir-Rhyne College have had their histories intertwine. Three of the four founders of Lenoir-Rhyne College helped charter St. Andrew's congregation. Many of LR's faculty have been members of St. Andrews and all ten of LR's Presidents have been members. Students also have exclusive priviletges at the church. St. Andrew's and LR have both benefited from one another's existence |
