A Better Future
There are all kinds of churches, hundreds of different denominations. If you tried to catalogue every kind of church and every subtle difference that exists in the practice of the Christian faith, you'd probably lose whatever faith you started with.
The Apostle Paul, one of Jesus' first followers, said that the whole point of the life of faith is to be a part of the "ministry of reconciliation" (II Cor 5:18). This is Paul's way of saying that our job, as Christians, is to join with Jesus in the monumental task of restoring a broken world. If there's a point to the Christian life, we would say that it is to find wholeness in your own life and to help others find that wholeness, too.
At St. Andrew's, we understand why so many Christians end up seeing the world as broken, and the only answer to life’s problems is heaven. We agree that the world is broken… but we don't think that this is the way it is supposed to be. The world isn’t supposed to stay broken – rather, from our perspective, the whole point of the Biblical story is that God is in the process of reforming and restoring the world He created.
At St. Andrew's Christian Church, we gather together because we have hope that God will make wrong things right; we gather together because we believe that the life of faith is a life of service to our God and to our fellow human beings.
At St. Andrew's, we gather together because we believe that God's creation is worth saving.
