Their faithful service helps make our church place of beauty, holiness, an

Help our children grow in faith.
Each Sunday during the program year, St. Andrew's children discover God's love through stories, prayer, and caring adults who walk alongside them in faith. One of the greatest gifts a child can receive is knowing another trusted adult in the church knows their name, listens to them, and cares.
