Surrounded In Prayer

Whether it’s walking around the school grounds, placing a hand on a backpack, praying aloud on the drive to school, or around the dinner table – every word of prayer is an act of care, intention, and faith.

Let’s kick off this new school year by surrounding our students, teachers, and family with prayer.

Back to School Blessing

Join us this Sunday for our Back to School Blessing!

Children can join you in worship and hear a special video blessing from Children’s Pastor, Rachel Kortum and Students Pastor, Brian Colligan or attend children’s programming and experience the same message during Large Group.

Each child in children’s programming will receive a Backpack Tag and a St. Andrew iron-on patch as tangible reminders that God is with them and their church family is cheering them on.
