St. Andrews by the Sea is an Episcopal church and community hub dedicated to uplifting their community through social justice programs and youth and family services since 1933. Located in Pacific Beach in San Diego, St. Andrews carries out their mission of providing “hope and [a] spiritual home to everyone who comes to our door” through radical inclusivity and loving justice. St. Andrews' community offerings include a preschool education center, holistic fitness classes, choirs, and meal programs. 

Each year, St. Andrews expands its programming to further its commitment to social justice. They positively impact countless families and community members through the Hunger Supper program, which prepares a weekly meal for guests, and the Compass Station Program, which provides support and resources to folks experiencing homelessness.

Bringing Solar to St. Andrews by the Sea

St. Andrews by the Sea’s solar installation remains underway. RE-volv staff is working with the solar installer, Climate Solar Solutions, to install a 22 kW solar system. This solar system will save St. Andrews more than $389,000 on electricity bills over the lifetime of the system while removing over 1 million pounds of emissions from entering the atmosphere. With the savings from going solar with RE-volv, St. Andrews can invest these savings into their programming, such as the Hunger Supper and Compass Station Program.
