Ministry Groups...

Children's Ministry

Our children meet on Sunday mornings for children's choir, education, and fellowship. Children participate in worship and with special community programs and projects.

Christian Education

Sunday schools, bible studies, social issue studies, community study groups, and more...as a church with learning to do and teaching to share, we have discussions for any curious mind to join.

College Ministry

Our College Ministry supports programs, activities, and studies for students at Lenoir-Rhyne as well as congregation members who are currently attending college.  

Global Mission

Our missionaries, World Hunger projects, and partnership in advocacy and learning keep us engaged in a ministry that is truly global.

Handbell Choir

The Handbell Choir is equipped with a new complete range of octaves, practices an hour a week on Wednesday evenings, and shares its abilities regularly in church.

Men's Group

Meeting, often over breakfast, our Men's Group leads activities that contribute to the life of the congregation and the well-being of the community.

Prayer Group

The Monday afternoon prayer group is a bi-weekly gathering for Bible Study and intercessory prayer and is open to all.

Choir

The St. Andrew's Choir provides a number of special services each year, especially during Christmas and Holy Week, in addition to supporting worship most Sundays.

Social Ministry

St. Andrew's members helped found the Cooperative Christian Ministry (CCM) in Hickory and continue actively to support this local ministry and others. This group shares information about and participates in volunteer projects throughout the year. 

Women of the ELCA

A community of women committed to growing our faith, affirming our gifts, supporting one another in callings, engaging in ministry and action, and promoting healing and wholeness in the church, society, and the world.

Worship

Join our weekly Sunday worship at 11:00 a.m. (both in-person and on YouTube). Hymns, texts, and the order of service work together to reflect the theological and social themes for the day. Worshipers unite with the choirs and pastor to join in the holy work of receiving and celebrating the good news of Christ. We also offer midweek noonday worship and luncheons on Wednesday in different seasons of the church year.
