We at St. Andrew encourage members to be involved! Involvement is a great way to serve God while making it possible to meet others in your church family.

Paul writes in Romans 12:5-6 “In Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us.”
