At St. Andrew's, we are anti-perfectionism; pro-participation. That means you can get involved and the stakes are low. Church is a great place to learn leadership skills and to practice working with people. It's fun to take on a new job, help out the community, and build your repertoire of skills and abilities. Whether it's serving our faith community on Sunday mornings, or feeding people who are hungry on Tuesday nights, there's something for everyone at St. Andrew's.
ministries at St. andrew's
worship ministries
Serving during worship is a good way to get involved. If you would like to read a part of the service, or lead the congregation in prayers, you're welcome to sign up to be a lector. If you want to hold the chalice while people receive the bread and wine made holy, then being a chalice bearer is for you. If you are drawn to altar service, then please contact us. We will see that you are trained and ready to serve this faith community! Read below to see what connects with you.

livestream team
We're expanding our team of livestreamers! If you have an iPhone and a Facebook account, and feel comfortable using both of them, please contact us to help out. We really appreciate it!
serve others
Jesus said whenever we clothe those who are naked, feed those who are hungry, visit those who are imprisoned, we are serving him. Serving others is more than a spiritual practice, although it is definitely that. It also shows us the face of Christ in the most unlikely of places. Serving others deepens our connection to all of humanity, thereby increasing our faith. Read about a few options below.
