St. Andrews is for human beings.  

We affirm that every person carries within them the image of God.  no matter their ability or how they are made. 

Every person is valuable and deeply loved by God.

Every person has a contribution to make to the mission of God in the world.

We oppose and resist all violence that harms the image of God in another human.

This is what we see and hear from Jesus, as he reveals God to us.

We know Jesus through the Bible, it is the written word showing us the One who is the Living Word. 

We study the Bible in hopeful expectation that we will encounter Jesus. 

We experience Jesus together; no one person alone shows Jesus to the world.

As such, We resist the easy answers provided by “us and them” thinking. We choose to live in the tension created by different viewpoints. Held by people who are committed to sharing life together.

Those differences help us to understand  God in Christ from different perspectives

In our family,  We seek progress not perfection.

And we exist for anyone who wants to know Jesus better.

Among us, you will find a warm welcome,  with arms open to receive you as you are, and  a place where you can belong and find people who will walk with you.

We strive to be open to the Spirit of God growing and transforming us into the people God has seen us to be, since before time began.
