We are glad you are here! Thank you for choosing to visit our St. Andrew’s website. Please feel free to browse around and stay awhile. We invite you to visit with us one Sunday in the near future. Our goal in each and every service is to help you know Christ, grow in Christ, and be equipped to go in Christ to share His love and grace in the world. We have three (3) Sunday morning worship times at St. Andrew’s: 8:15am, 9:30am, and 10:50am. Nursery is available for all services. We also offer Sunday School classes for children and adults at 9:30am and 10:50am. Student Sunday School (The Journey) is at 9:30am. Sunday School will give you a chance to connect with other Christians in a small group setting. You choose the time that works best for you and join us.

Confirmation 2012: Confirmation refers to the decision a person makes to respond to God's grace with intentional commitment, publicly reaffirming his or her baptismal vows before the congregation. During confirmation class, confirmands learn about the meaning of Christian faith; the history and teachings of the United Methodist Church; and an explanation of the baptismal and membership vows they will be professing. All children in 6th grade (or older youth who have not gone through confirmation) are encouraged to attend classes beginning TODAY, February 19, from 6:00pm-7:30pm. A parent or guardian MUST attend this first class with their child. REGISTRATION FORMS and class schedules can be found in the Fellowship Area. Contact Pastor D.A. at 692-4242, ext. 101 with questions.
