What is Beacon of Light?

Beacon of Light was established in 2021 as a ministry of St. Andrew Methodist Church with the mission of delivering proactive, faith-based mental health programming and support to the St. Andrew community and beyond.

Currently, Beacon of Light provides much-needed resources, support, and treatment for those struggling with mental health issues while also empowering Christ-centered communities to find hope even in the most difficult times.

Beacon of Light’s aspiration is to embrace the grace of God to change church cultures everywhere so they may become true sanctuaries for mental health healing. This work begins by the extension of support and healing at St. Andrew through Christ-centered mental health programming, services, and awareness.
