Welcome!
At St. Andrews United Methodist Church, our prayer is that you find a warm and welcoming setting where you are able to take a deep breath, relax, and know that you are loved. We are dedicated to Jesus, worship with our hearts, and take very seriously our hands-on work in our community and beyond.
Whether you are looking for a place to worship, learn, grow, volunteer, study, play, or just make some great friends, we are here to accept you as you are.
St. Andrews was founded in 1965 but has roots in the Methodist tradition dating back to the early 1700s. With a rich and diverse history, we work to embrace the United Methodist motto (open hearts, open minds, open doors) and mission (making disciples for Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world).
We hope you will take some time to explore our website. Here you will find information about our ministries, missions, programs, groups, status as a green church, sports… and we are growing every day!
