At Saint Andrew Presbyterian Church, our mission is to love God and neighbor. As a congregation, we welcome all people into the life of the church regardless of age, sex, race and ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender identity, socio-economic status or marital status, physical or mental ability, or any other worldly condition. We affirm that no one should be judged or excluded for who they are. Called to be the hands, feet, and voice of Christ in the world, we work for justice for all people.
Our Mission
We live out this mission in many ways. If we had someone besides our seminary intern making our website, we would have lots of links here with photos of people smiling while doing amazing things in the name of Jesus. However, our focus is on doing God's work here on earth and not glamorizing it, so here are several bullet points to give you an idea of the kinds of things going on here at St. Andrew, followed by a few pictures that give you a small peek. Come visit us or contact us for more information.
