Small Groups at St. Andrew’s

 Small Group Ministry

As a congregation seeking to grow in faith, we continue to foster small group ministry.  Small groups are part of the Christian tradition, reflected in Jesus’ ministry, of gathering to live out the gospel call for fellowship, worship, study, support, spiritual growth and social change.  We have a variety of groups because people have a variety of gifts.  Most groups are led by people in the congregation.

In this pamphlet you will find an overview of the groups currently running.  All groups are open groups.  Some run for specific times of the year.  Some are for a specific purpose.  Some are short-term.  Some are long-term.  Some are larger.  Some are smaller.  Some are specifically for men or women or children.  We hope you find opportunities to nurture the gifts God has given you through one or more of the groups.  Or, perhaps, God is calling you to begin a new small group to share your gifts with others.

Come and grow with us, as we seek to become a congregation of Small Groups.

Most groups run September to June.  Contact the church office for more information or to reach the contact person
