St. Andrew’s-by-the-Sea
30 Church Road
Rye Beach, New Hampshire

St. Andrew’s-by-the-Sea is the Episcopal summer chapel in Rye Beach, N.H.

This year marks the 137th anniversary in which our doors have been opened to worshippers. Episcopal services actually began in Rye Beach in 1864 in the then nearby Farragut Hotel. This chapel was not built until 1876. Even though construction was not quite finished, the first service was held on August 4 of that year.

Holy Eucharist is celebrated on Sundays at 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. from mid-June through early September. Refreshments are served in the churchyard after both services.

We had a wonderful season last year. Check out the Calendar to see our list of esteemed guest celebrants and musicians. to add (or update) your contact information so that we can keep you apprised of our 2013 Schedule once it is finalized in May or June. And donations are welcomed at any time and may be mailed to the address on the Contact page.

Thank you, and God bless you and yours!
