The St. Andrews Episcopal Church located on Gilchrist Avenue in Boca Grande has a bell tower. It is used for Sunday church services and on special occasions.
In 1912 the church mission in Boca Grande became officially listed in the Diocesan Convention Journal.
The first building used by the church beginning circa 1909 had been built somewhere in downtown Boca Grande. It was one of the railroad houses built by the Charlotte Harbor and Northern Railroad to house its workers. Converted to use as a church, it was moved in 1916 to its current location on the corner of Gilchrist and Fourth Streets (Lot 1, Block16, purchased wisely that year for $1).
