Our congregational care’s mission is to reach out to members and friends in need to build a stronger and compassionate community. We want to provide caring ministries that meet the needs of our members and extended church family.
We also provide support when needed, such as illness, birth of a new baby, or loss of a loved one. We want to ensure that people have a support system to help as needed. If you have a passion for helping others or skills you are willing to share with members and friends of the congregation, we would be happy to have your help!
If you are in need of help please don’t hesitate to call us. We will do what we can to support you.
Meals
Our goal is to help those in need of meals for them and their family as they deal with issues that come up in life, such as surgery, illness, new baby, or death of a loved one.
Transportation
Got a car and some time? Help those who are unable to drive themselves to worship service, doctor appointments, help run errands, or maybe even grocery shopping.

Bring Communion

Prayer Chain
St. Andrew is a praying congregation, with an email prayer chain and a telephone prayer chain. Requests for prayers are made through the church office, and are passed on to the prayer chain coordinator. The prayers are then sent to those persons who have requested to be on the prayer chain. It is amazing to watch God work through this ministry.
To be a part of the praying chain, contact the church office and provide your name and email address (or telephone number). There can never be too many people praying!
