Ministries

It is the Lord's command for us to reach out and share his love with others. St. Andrew Presbyterian Church offers many programs to encourage our growth in Christ, with spiritual enrichment for members and visitors. The following programs are offered:

Lay Ministry

Not only are our pastors committed to care for and support our members in difficult times, our congregation also has Lay Ministers who have been trained and commissioned to provide Christian care for others.

Lay Ministry is part of our Christian community - we are here for each other in good times and bad.
Lay Ministers are caring, supportive Christian people who care to be with you in times of crisis, grieving and other needs.
Lay ministry is a confidential ministry in which one person reaches out to another in time of need.
It is a relationship on a regular basis with a person who has had training in many helpful skills.
It is a meaningful way for our church to provide and extend an active, ongoing, caring ministry for the people.
Lay ministers are not professional counselors or psychologists, ordained ministers, or experts in law, finance, etc.
Many have found the care and friendship of a Lay Minister to be a source of strength, comfort, and guidance in times of trouble and confusion.
Whatever trial or emergency you experience in life, remember that you are not alone! Our risen Lord is with you and the staff and members of our congregation are prepared to be with you and help you in any way we can.
