Here at St. Andrew, we believe in providing a safe place for Youth to grow emotionally and spiritually. Every Spring, St. Andrew Youth Ministries hosts an online and in person auction to raise funds for our Youth Programs.  

Your donation supports programs like:

  • Youth Mission Trips, that provide youth the opportunity to serve others locally and abroad.  
  • The Youth Choir, where youth can be a part of a fun community, share their musical gifts, and grow their passion for music.

Join us this April for Board Games “Make your Best Move”

Online April 14-21

Bid on various art, food, tickets, and more. 

In person April 23

3pm Live Auction

4pm Philly Steak Dinner

Live auction includes food, entertainment, and fun things to bid on. Purchase a ticket to reserve your seat.

Can’t make the auction? Donate to Youth Ministries or donate items.

We are careful stewards of what we receive; we turn funds into impactful experiences that allow students to grow and make a difference in others’ and their own lives.

Spring to life at St. Andrew

As we emerge from a long, cold winter, we can feel our spirits awaken to new life as the days grow longer, dormant plants begin to bud and sprout, creation stirs and sings around us, and we make room in our calendars for springtime activities.   For many, spring is a season for deep cleaning and pruning what no longer brings us joy or life.  

This spring, take some time to reflect on what may be dormant in your heart.  What areas of your life long for the breath of new life?  What seeds of hope and love could you plant or spread this season in the places where you live, work, and play?  

We invite you to spring to life with St. Andrew.  Throughout this season, we offer opportunities to celebrate and live the enduring story of love, grace, beauty, and resurrection that God can give us.

Discover the beauty of the season and embrace the gifts of winter. ​

Winter can be a challenging season for many.  As the excitement of the holidays fades and the cold weather keeps us indoors, our hearts crave the vibrancy of spring.  ​

What if we could Embrace Winter, and possibly even learn to love it?  Can winter be a season for exploring areas in our lives that long to grow or mend while the days are quiet?  ​

Winter has its own beauty that offers rest, rejuvenation, and renewal.  We invite you to explore Winter at St. Andrew.  We offer an abundance of activities and opportunities for you and your loved ones.  ​
