God Care + Earth Care + Community Care + Neighbor Care + Self Care
At St. Andrew, Earth Care is one of our core values. Generations of people have worked to integrate caring for the planet with all that we do: everything from church policies for hosting events to the Community Garden to our Sanctuary of the Firs and acres of wetland and woodland to the solar panels on the church roof, reflects our commitment to the environment we share with all living creatures. In summary, we believe that we should be good stewards of the world that God created so that future generations will be able to enjoy the wondrous beauty and bounty of God’s creation.
