A Welcoming Community of Faith
St. Andrew United Methodist Church's vision is to be a welcoming community, equipping generations to share God's love. It permeates all that we are at St. Andrew United Methodist Church.
“St. Andrew: a welcoming community…”
Welcoming: At St. Andrew United Methodist Church, we are a vibrant community of faith that celebrates and honors diversity in all its forms. We believe in creating an inclusive environment where everyone is welcomed with open arms. Regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious background, economic status, occupation, immigration status, mental or physical ability, age, or perspective, every individual is valued and cherished as beloved by God, deserving of equal dignity and respect.
At St. Andrew Church, our congregation is a tapestry woven with threads of diverse backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences. While we celebrate our differences, what unites us is our shared dedication to love, acceptance, and mutual understanding. Whether you're a seasoned scholar or a curious seeker, a weary traveler or a lifelong resident, a believer, a questioner, or someone in between, you'll find a home here where your unique journey is embraced and celebrated.
“… equipping generations…”
Equipping: Giving us the tools to work out our faith at different ages and stages of life. Embracing the reality that we all come to St. Andrew from different places and with different stories, and we strive to offer a variety of tools to meet the needs of our community.
“… to share God's love.”
Sharing: Taking the love of Jesus everywhere we go. You will find members of the St. Andrew community volunteering in a variety of organizations in the Greater Lafayette community, seeking justice for the oppressed, and living out their faith in their vocations, school, retirement communities, and families.
