The property for the church was purchased in 1867 from Jesse D. Hartzell, who was John Andrew Strassburger's son-in-law, for $300 and was 100' x 490." The foundation stones came from a small quarry on Walnut Street next to the Strassburger home. The gray stones for the church above the basement were secured free of charge from Samuel Mood's quarry on Ridge Road.
The name of the church was chosen to honor the ministry of the Rev. John Andrew Strassburger, who served several
churches in this area for 36 years. In 1890 the tower and bell were installed and the Chancel was changed from the South to the North wall.
In 1956, the union church was dissolved and the Reformed bought out the Lutheran congregation who erected their new church on Dill Avenue.
In 1971 St.Andrew's UCC added a Christian education wing for church school classes and fellowship opportunities.
