Who are the people of St. Andrews' U.M.C.?

St. Andrews is a diverse, reconciling, inclusive Christian community of faith.
 
We welcome to our worship people of all ages, races, classes, genders, sexual orientations, and abilities. Children are especially welcome and child care is available for the youngest.

Our Mission: To Share the Abundant Life

Serving dinner for the Clara-Mateo Alliance

Why I attend St. Andrew’s:

"The people are smart, thought-filled, accepting Christians;
the children are wonderful, involved, growing(!) kids;
we seek to reach out to the world in a way that will serve justice;
we join in fellowship that is surrounded by humor and music, the spirit of love;
as a reconciling congregation we accept any and all who will join with us to worship and serve."
"Praise God!"

Each Friday, with a crew of volunteers, we enlist volunteers to pass out several TONS of food for neighbors who need it.

The last Sunday of each month we collect food donations for the South Palo Alto Food Closet. Each month a different footstuff is suggested, but other types of non-perishable food are very welcome (and they are welcome at any time, not just the month's last Sunday). Current economic times make these donations more valuable than ever.
