Outreach

St. Andrew’s believes that outreach — reaching out into

the community — is part of what it means to follow Jesus.

The St. Andrew’s Outreach Committee contributes funds for projects that affect poverty and social issues in our local community, as well as national and international Diocesan concerns. We regularly support the local clothes closet, the local shelter for domestic violence victims, the humane society and the local food bank. We also offer larger annual gifts in the form of grants to local ministries who work to feed and serve the local community.  If you would like to help, you can donate money (write checks to the church and specify “Outreach” on the memo line), and you can serve on this committee and prayerfully consider all needs in our community.

  • In addition to the grant program, there are several on-going outreach activities

    we are involved with:

  • Regular donations to the Hart County Food Pantry (food items and cash donations)

  • Hart Interdenominational Ministry (HIM)

  • Donation to the Senior Center for bowling and a lunch field trip

  • Personal and food items gifted to the Whitworth Women’s Facility during Christmas season

  • Yearly school sponsorship for a student in Haiti

  • Christmas gifts for nursing home residents without family

Hart Interdenominational Ministry

Hart Interdenominational Ministry (HIM) seeks to provide tools to help people become self-sufficient. HIM’s mission is to connect people in need with churches and social agencies that will provide the appropriate help, support, and education that will meet the present need and enable them to address the root causes of their personal, social, and economic problems.
