Adult Education at St. Andrew is more than just an opportunity to learn something new.  It is a chance to grow together as a community of faith as we reflect together on Scripture and discuss topics relevant to our lives as Christians.  St. Andrew offers classes for adults most Sundays at 9:30am, Sunday School for K-5th graders after worship until Noon, and our youth meet regularly for learning and community service opportunities.

Cultivate Faith: An Adult Education Class

Most Sundays Sept-May our adult education class meets at 9:30am on Sundays in Room 312. Cultivate Faith features a variety of topics asking why important issues matter to our daily faith. In winter/spring 2024, we’ll focus on the writings of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the famous German pastor who died at the hands of the Nazis at the end of WWII.

Children & Youth Ministry

At St. Andrew, children and youth aren't considered "the future of the church." They're a vital part of what makes up the church today! Our ministry wouldn't be the same without their presence, energy, and leadership.  Children and youth of all ages are warmly encouraged to participate and lead in worship.

Most Sundays during the school year children K-5th grade have Sunday School after worship from 11:30am-12pm.

Youth 6th-12th graders meet monthly for community service and as part of the BeLoved Youth Gathering with other churches in the area. We also meet for youth lunches, trips, and other activities.

Fellowship & Congregational Care

At St. Andrew, we value reaching out to those in need in our community and caring for those within our midst.  We provide a multitude of congregational care ministries, such as:  rides to worship, home communion for those unable to attend worship, hospital visitation, and meals after a baby is born.

Anti-Racism

St. Andrew’s Statement on Racism, adopted by the Session in 2020, guides our anti-racism ministry. It says:

“The people of St. Andrew Presbyterian Church acknowledge that we have, knowingly and unknowingly, helped perpetuate systemic racism within our church, our community, and our world. We regret our actions, as well as our silence and complacency. With guidance from the Holy Spirit and help from communities of color, we will face the reality of racism, accept our role in it, then do the hard work of challenging and eradicating it.”

Our anti-racism work is part of a broader commitment to be a “Matthew 25” congregation of the Presbyterian Church (USA). As a Matthew 25 church, we pledge to care for “the least of these” by working to end structural racism and systemic poverty. We do this by:

  • Supporting the NAACP of Boulder with our time and money

  • Working with Together Colorado, a multifaith advocacy organization that seeks to transform public policies that perpetuate racism and poverty

  • Providing educational opportunities for the congregation (book studies, films, discussions, training)

  • Encouraging the congregation to participate in advocacy activities related to social justice and racial equity

Green Team

Caring for creation is an integral part of our faith.  St. Andrew was the first certified Earth Care congregation in Colorado. Led by our Green Team, we continue to prioritize God's creation as we take care of our building and grounds.  We know how blessed we are to have a campus along South Boulder Creek with sweeping views of the Flatirons and Great Horned Owls nesting in the trees above the playground!
