Overview
A scribe once came to Jesus asking, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?” Quoting the Scriptures, Jesus replied: “Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is One; you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.” These words resonate deeply with the members of Saint Andrew Christian Church where we practice our faith by worshipping with enthusiasm, by caring for one another, by working for justice, and by engaging in study.
The goal of our education programming, for children, youth, and adults, is to explore faith together in a way that is passionately spiritual yet intellectually plausible. We believe that our study leads us to greater love for God and our neighbors. We offer opportunities to grow in faith through Sunday morning classes for children, youth and adults, youth groups for elementary youth and teens, a Wednesday night bible study, house churches, prayer groups, a lecture series, and much more.

Adult Education
The Academy for Life and Faith provides short-term and ongoing adult education for the members and friends of Saint Andrew. Our goal is that participants will be drawn into ever deeper relationship to God and ever more committed participation in the realm of God’s activity through engaged study and spirited conversation. The Disciples of Christ have traditionally been a thoughtful people, serious about studying the Scriptures, theology, ethics, and spirituality. Our study leads us into the world better equipped to carry out the work to which God calls us.

We offer a variety of classes on Sunday mornings. Some past course titles include “Finding a Faith that Makes Sense,” “God After Darwin: An Introduction to Science and Theology,” and “Parenting as a Spiritual Journey.” Each year two course catalogues are published, one in January and one in August. These detail upcoming course offerings and other learning opportunities available at Saint Andrew.
