Who We Are

In April of 1962, Blackwell Elementary School was the meeting place for a small group of dedicated Methodists beginning a new church. They chose the name St. Andrew because the apostle Andrew was considered a “do-er,” active in pursuing and partnering in the work of the Lord.

Our Core Values

Excellence in Ministry

Primacy of Scripture

Generous Outreach

Warm Hospitality

Thoughtful Innovation

As we offer God our best, root ourselves in the Bible, give of ourselves generously, welcome others warmly, and remain open to faithful new approaches to ministry, we make room for Christ to work through us and grow God’s kingdom here on earth.
