Children and Family Ministries

Youth and family ministry at St. Andrew is about helping children, youth and their families experience the love of God, deepen their faith in Christ, and identify their spirit-given gifts and calling, empowering them to share the love of God with others.

Youth and their families are embraced in worship and are welcome to participate in all of our ministries. We offer a variety of faith formation activities stressing service to others, intergenerational connections, and equipping households and individuals to practice their faith in all aspects of their lives.
