Serve at Saint Andrew
We're glad you're here
Together, we worship joyfully, server generously, love unconditionally, and spread God's grace to all.
"For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ." — 1 Corinthians 12:12

At Saint Andrew, we believe that service is a vital expression of our faith and a powerful way to build a vibrant, welcoming community. By sharing our unique gifts and time, we do more than simply fill roles; we actively participate in God’s work, nurturing both our own spiritual growth and the lives of those around us. We invite you to explore the many opportunities to get involved, knowing that every contribution plays an essential part in our shared ministry.

Worship Team
Rehearsals: occur weekly on Monday evenings for musicians scheduled to serve
The Worship Team weekly shares music at the 10:00 am Modern Worship service, and brings joy and energy through music from today’s leading Christian songwriters — lifting hearts and stirring faith. Members express their faith through music by singing and playing a variety of instruments, including acoustic and electric guitar, piano, keyboard/synthesizer, electric bass, electronic drum set, and more.
Communion
Altar Guild
Altar Guild sets and prepares the Communion table for worship services. This includes baking bread, preparing the wine and juice, maintaining linens, and other duties that allow the church to fully participate in the Holy Sacrament of Communion.
Communion Server
Communion Servers serve Communion in worship, sharing the body and blood of Christ with the church community. Scheduled servers weekly invite and equip another person to serve with them, expanding the capacity of Communion servers, and inviting more into sharing the Holy Sacrament of Communion with our neighbors.
At Home Communion Server
At Home Communion Servers share the Holy Sacrament of Communion with those who cannot attend worship in person.
Communion Cleanup (after 10:00am service)
Communion Cleanup helpers ensure that all Communion glasses and trays are properly cleaned and ready for future worship services.
Fellowship
Coffee and Cookie Host
Coffee and Cookie hosts help ensure all who participate in Fellowship before or after worship can enjoy a coffee or cookie. Periodically, these hosts help prepare other treats throughout the year.
Hospitality
Greeter
Greeters are typically the first face seen before a service. They open doors and welcome folks inside to Saint Andrew.
Parking Lot Greeter
Parking Lot Greeters assist in greeting folks outside, as well as helping with traffic flow for holiday worship services.
Usher
Ushers hand out bulletins, collect the Offering, dismiss the congregation for Communion, and overall, help assist the community in worshiping together well.
Worship and Liturgical Support
Assisting Minister (8:00am)
Assisting Ministers help lead worship through scripture, prayers, and assist serving Communion.
Reader (10:00am)
Readers share scripture readings with the congregation at the Modern worship service.
Stream Team
