St. Andrew is a church family that welcomes children. We believe it is important that children spend time in worship on a regular basis and learn that they are welcome in the Sanctuary. Children's Sermons are part of all worship services, and Church School begins at the conclusion of the Children's Sermon.
Join Mrs. G in the Fellowship Hall each 2nd Wednesday of the month as we enjoy dinner and fellowship together!
This monthly group is for all upper elementary and middle school students who love books. We discuss the current book and have a time of fellowship.
Join Mrs. G each Wednesday at 6:30pm in the Youth Room at St. Andrew as we make friends and explore our faith.
