Are You New Here?

If you, your student, are new to the 6th grade or just new to youth group at St. Andrew's, welcome! All youth are encouraged to join in the monthly activities for fellowship, faith formation, and fun. Email me, Mindy, if I can be helpful in any way as you become familiar with the group.

Somethings to Think About

Let's Connect

By parent invitation, I would love to attend your students' sports, theatre, or other activity. It's a simple way for me to connect with your student as they participate in the activities that they enjoy. Email me.

It's fun too to meet with students and their parents over ice cream, coffee, tacos, etc., to catch up. I’ll just need to schedule it with you. Click here to share the best way for us to connect.

WAYFARERS of EDSD 

A New Youth Leadership Program

Wayfarers are travelers on a journey—not simply toward a destination, but toward a deeper relationship with God, one another, and themselves. This mentorship program will create a community where youth journey together through intentional discipleship, leadership development, and Christian fellowship, equipping them for ministry within their congregations, the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego, and beyond. Application to this program is open to 10th - 12th grade students. If interested, please contact Deacon Mindy for the details.

Please Update Your Student's Information 

The student permission and medical form for 2026-2027 is available. If you haven't completed the form for this year, now is a good time to do so. Please complete this form and return it to Deacon Mindy by email or return it to the church office. Thank you.
