St. Andrew’s Christian Education is sharing the good news of Jesus Christ to enable students to have transformation occur within their hearts and minds giving them the tools they need to live a Christian life. All are welcome to be part of, and to connect to, this nurturing and safe environment growing in faith in community together.

St. Andrew’s Christian Education provides meaningful opportunities for all ages to renew their hearts and minds specifically by:

  • Explaining the Christian story, the Bible, past and present
  • Identifying who God is, and how God is active in our lives
  • Developing a close relationship with, and understanding of, Jesus and his ministry
  • Explaining and experiencing, the Holy Spirit’s activeness in our lives
  • Describing growth of faith development and character formation
  • Applying skills to act out our faith
  • Composing and experiencing prayer, individually and corporately
  • Provide outreach and connect within our church and community
  • Demonstrating observable self-learning to continue maturing in scriptural knowledge and application

We offer Sunday Morning Christian Education classes for all ages. All classes are ongoing and you can join anytime. 

Children meet in the lower level and follow an experiential curriculum that uses stories, crafts, discussion, puppets and more to teach in interactive ways.   

Youth meet in the Youth Room in the lower level follow a discussion based approach allowing the youth to engage in meaningful dialogue which includes their questions and concerns about life. 

Adults meet in Zion Hall and are led by Dr. Polly Riddle. Curriculum is chosen that meets current needs and allows for learning through reflection and discussion.
