Care
Your church family is here when you need it most.
St. Andrew is a community that cares, offering support, presence, and comfort, and a soft place to land no matter where you find yourself on life’s journey. Care at St. Andrew means showing up for one another and the community. We offer individual and group opportunities for support, aiming to decrease isolation and equip people with coping skills and strategies to face life. Care begins with the youngest among us and extends to our elders, with no one outside of the circle of care.
Prayer
We believe that prayer makes a difference. It
connects us to God and one another.
Whether you want someone to pray for you,
need a sacred space to pray, or want to pray
for others, we are here to support you.
Congregational Care Team
We seek to inspire our community to become the hands and feet of Christ —for one another and for those outside the church walls.
St. Andrew clergy, in partnership with Congregational Care Ministers (CCMs,) and other members of the Care Team work together to serve and support those in our community through hospitalizations, grief, crisis, difficulties associated with aging, end of life, divorce, loss of a job, and other challenges that come to us in the course of our lives. The Care Team offers visitation, phone email/ support, provides support for families at memorials, work with clergy to triage care needs, and so much more. If you would like to know more about the Care Team at St. Andrew contact us.
