About

St. Andrew's Lutheran Church ELCA in San Carlos, San Diego, is an Evangelical Lutheran Church in America congregation on Lake Murray Boulevard that has been rooted in this community since 1959. The church occupies 8350 Lake Murray Blvd in the 92119 ZIP, positioned along the commercial strip that connects the Lake Murray residential neighborhoods to the Navajo Road intersection near the Cowles Mountain trailhead. The church's preschool program connects to the broader early-childhood infrastructure on the San Carlos side of Lake Murray Boulevard, where San Carlos UMC Preschool operates a parallel enrollment track for neighborhood families. Worship services run Saturday evening and Sunday morning, and the campus currently shares its sanctuary with Trinity Presbyterian Church, which holds its own Sunday service in the same space. Bible studies, fellowship groups, and youth ministries fill the midweek calendar, and the outreach program maintains strategic community partnerships across the San Carlos and La Mesa corridor. Pacifica Synod of the ELCA provides denominational oversight, and the congregation's 501(c)(3) status is registered under EIN 95-2468438. Lake Murray Boulevard's proximity to the lake draws post-walk and post-run foot traffic past the church campus, connecting it to the recreation community at Lake Murray Community Park and the surrounding trail network. The single-story campus provides wheelchair-accessible entrances, restrooms, and a free parking lot.
