Youth Ministries
We welcome the exciting and challenging opportunities of working with youth. Young people are usually so creative in their thinking and in their questions that almost anything goes. Our youth staff and leaders are continually being pushed to think and work "outside the box" as they deal with young people from our congregation and community.

Our programs are designed to engage young people in positive relationships and encouraging dialogue as they build strong foundations for life.

Leadership
Leadership in our Youth Ministries is provided by several groups of individuals including adult-parent volunteers, a program planning group of adults and youth, youth leaders and leadership interns.
We recently began a Youth Consultation process to analysis our current programs and began to look into the future to determine how best to address the needs of our youth. This process is ongoing and we hope to be in a position to start unveilling the first stages of our new Youth Program in the Fall of 2010.

A wise builder begins with the end in mind. The goal of St. Andrew's youth programs is to nurture young people in their spiritual maturity. Thus our programs rest on these four pillars:

1. Centered on a relationship with Jesus
2. Motivated by a sense of call
3. Guided by mature discerning wisdom and
4. Encouraged and bolstered by a sense of community

Our programs:

Sunday Ministry
In conjunction with our Sunday Service of Worship, we offer an age-graded program for children and youth that includes a Senior Department & Youth. Our Youth department includes Jr. High and High School youth who meet with their Leaders. Each program is independently developed by the teacher-leaders of each class.
