Our Mission Statement

 

Our mission is to provide spiritual growth, Christian community, and the opportunity for faith-based service for our congregation, considering the wide diversity of age, background and religious views which make our St. Andrew family unique. As we pursue our mission, we will continue to show care and concern for our church family and the community at large by:

 

V    Providing interaction among members and friends through divine                      worship, shared tasks and fellowship events;

 

V    Presenting the opportunity for all ages to study and deepen their faith                  through Christian education classes on Sunday morning, the monthly                  Women’ s Bible Study, the Preschool, the LOGOS program                                 (intergenerational), retreats and special studies;

 

V    Developing our worship music program through the use of instruments,                  contemporary music, and historic descriptions of our hymns in the                    worship bulletin;

 

V    Making our facilities available for community use;

 

V    Continuing pastoral care through the Pastor’s and Deacons’ visits to                  those church members and friends who are in need;

 

V    Cultivating local and global mission awareness and social concern,                     including our special mission with the hungry and the homeless through                  Habitat for Humanity, the Interfaith Satellite Shelter;
