Small Groups

Connect with a community that shares your values and interests.

At St. Andrew, we believe that a sense of belonging fosters personal and spiritual growth. Small groups are places to explore faith, deepen personal relationships, connect over interests, and serve in community with one another. If you are looking for belonging, you'll find it here.

Grow Groups

A Grow Group meets on an ongoing basis. Its focus is to build a safe, confidential, and intimate space for deepening connection and belonging. Members are expected to attend regularly and abide by a group covenant. New participants are added at the facilitator’s discretion.
