Church has simply become too big

I have lived in the Harbor Highlands and Dover Shores area of

Newport Beach since 1975. I once taught at Newport Harbor High School

and have attended church services and musical concerts at St.

Andrew’s Presbyterian Church.

I am opposed to the proposed expansion of St. Andrew’s even though

my own neighborhood would not be affected. The church is simply a

victim of its own success. I feel it has become too big for its site.

Rather than expand again, the church should move to a

nonresidential location similar to that used by Saddleback Church in

Lake Forest.
