Missions and Outreach

Loving Others
Through Generosity, Action, and Faith

At St. Andrew Methodist Church, we believe that faith in Christ naturally leads us to serve others. Our Missions and Outreach ministry is rooted in compassion and community—supporting both local and global needs through intentional giving, hands-on involvement, and Gospel-centered care.

Whether it’s providing meals for families, collecting baby bottles for life-saving ministries, or sharing the Gospel face-to-face, we are committed to being the hands and feet of Jesus in the world.

May 2025 Mission:

Hope Women’s Center Baby Bottle Campaign

This month, St. Andrew is partnering with Hope Women’s Center to support their life-saving ministry.

As part of the Baby Bottle Campaign, we’re inviting members to pick up an empty baby bottle from the church, fill it with spare change throughout the month, and return it by early June.

100% of your donations go directly to Hope Women’s Center, where they support women in crisis, promote life, and share the hope of Christ. It’s a simple but powerful way to make a difference.

Thank you for helping us transform lives and save babies through this vital ministry.
