What's Happening at St. Andrew

Monday, March 24, 2025

A Message from Pastor David: Dear all,

I have communicated my resignation as Transitional Pastor to the session effective April 30, 2025. I deeply appreciate and enjoy the ministry and community that we share here at Saint Andrew. I am, however, in a place of many transitions and challenges that require me to prepare for my next call and opportunities. 

I am aware that the next six weeks will be busy with the Lenten and Easter services, and I will be available for all pastoral duties until the end of April. Thank you for your continued prayers and love. It has been a wonderful joy and blessing in my ministry and walk with God and God's beloved people.

Be blessed, keep the faith, and say your prayers.

Pastor David
