Ministry at St. Andrew's Church

Ministry is faith in action. Ministry is where we put into practice what we say we believe in our following Jesus.
We serve children, we reach out to the poor, we welcome our neighbors, we give of ourselves generously because as Jesus-followers, serving is the way to abundant and joyful life.

Come and be part of the serving!

The Pittsburgh Project
Every Summer, St. Andrew's High Schoolers travel to Pittsburgh to provide free home repairs for homeowners who are elderly, poor, shut-in, widowed, disabled, or immobile. Most live in substandard conditions, and many are cited for building code violations, facing the possibility of eviction if repairs are not completed. Projects include exterior and interior painting, repairing damaged walls and ceilings, hanging drywall, installing new toilets, constructing wheelchair ramps, clearing debris, repointing loose bricks, fortifying retaining walls, replacing doors, floors, and windows, patching holes on rooftops, and many other smaller jobs.
