St. Andrew's Episcopal Church - Tampa

A Place of Hope, Healing, and Hospitality

St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church was established in Tampa in 1871. Its first service was held in the hospital building at Fort Brooke. A wooden church was erected in 1883 on the city block bounded by Marion, Twiggs, Morgan, and Madison Streets, which had been purchased by St. Andrew’s Guild in 1877. A parish school house and rectory were soon added to the site.

In 1904, ground was broken for the present church. Local architects Miller & Kenard designed the Mediterranean Revival style building completed in 1907. The new structure incorporated several stained glass windows, the communion rail and lectern from the original church. Over the years, parishioners have made numerous gifts to complete the interior decoration of the building.
