You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. Keep in your heart these words that I am commanding you today. Recite them to your children and talk about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise. (Deuteronomy 6:5-7) Let no one despise your youth, but set the believers an example in speech and conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. (1 Timothy 4:12)

Children and Youth Education Young people are an extremely valuable part of the life of St. Andrew. Children and youth are warmly encouraged to participate in Worship, Sunday School and other Educational opportunities, and Fellowship activities. Children’s Ministry A Children's Sermon is offered during every Sunday morning in the later Worship Service, at 10:30 in the Fall of 2010. Children are invited to the front of the sanctuary for an interactive, fun message related to the day's Scripture. St. Andrew’s Childrens' Sunday School program is very interactive. Children engage Biblical stories and values through arts & crafts, storytelling, drama, cooking, singing, gardening, service and more! Preschoolers through 5th Graders start their morning together in worship with their families. After the Children's sermon, they follow with very diverse and age-appropriate activities and conversation. Check out the full Sunday School schedule here. Children's Church School is available during worship for children 4 years of age through 5th grade, on nearly all Sundays. Church School follows the Children's Sermon in the 10:30 am service, starting in the Fall of 2010. Music and games, Bible stories, arts and crafts, play and other activities bring the day's Scriptural lessons to life. Vacation Bible School happens each summer, with Mountain View Methodist and First United Methodist. Youth Ministry Our Youth Ministry page is under construction; for Fall plans contact Stephanie L. King, Director of Youth and Children's Ministries, at stephk@standrewboulder.org.
