Mission

Our mission grows from the St. Andrew’s Vision statement: St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church An open, caring family of faith Receiving God's message Nurturing each other Going out into the world In all that we do Let everyone experience Christ's love.

In addition to opening our door to many community help organizations, we focus on the following local missions:

Bethany Presbyterian Church: an inner city church whose congregation supports the needs of less fortunate people in the near west Cleveland neighborhoods. We support their meal program monthly by providing desserts, helping serve food and cleaning up afterwards. Over 100 people are served at each meal.

Garden Valley: a near east Cleveland neighborhood center at Kinsman and East 71st street. A mission of the Presbytery of the Western Reserve, they offer a variety of programs that meet the food, education and recreational needs of inner city youth and families. We provide food and clothing donations monthly and help with volunteers for their annual Christmas fair.

Berea Welfare: maintains a food closet that support families in need in the Berea community. We supply food and financial donations throughout the year.

Heifer Project: an international aid organization that provides income-producing animals to needy areas around the world. In addition, they provide education and training in how to raise, feed and breed their animals to support their community and other communities.

Other mission projects are undertaken on an as needed basis. In 2007 the congregation worked with local businesses to paint the home of a local senior citizen for the second time. Where there is a need we strive to help.
