A Sacred Space With a Heart for the Community
At St. Andrew’s, we believe that church is more than a building—it’s a sacred space where lives are transformed through worship, learning, service, and connection. Our campus exists to support not only the spiritual life of our congregation but also the greater good of the community we serve. By opening our doors, we expand our ministry beyond Sunday worship and into the heart of the community.
​​
A Campus Designed to Serve
With Purpose
​​The St. Andrew’s campus is made up of five main buildings—Family Life Center, Children’s Center, Powell Hall, the Sanctuary, and Disciples’ Hall—each thoughtfully designed with unique amenities to support a wide variety of gatherings, ministries, and community events.​
​
We warmly welcome nonprofit and community-focused groups who align with vales of compassion, service, and outreach. And whose events align with the mission and vision of St. Andrew’s, and with the goals and guidelines established by the Florida Conference and the United Methodist Book of Discipline. It’s our joy to share this sacred space with those working to make a meaningful impact.
​
Whether you’re hosting a meeting, planning a training, offering a support group, or organizing a community initiative, we’re honored to provide space that nurtures growth and makes a difference.​​​​

Child and Youth Protection Policy
A central tenet of the Christian faith is the inherent value and worth of all children, youth, and adults. Children and youth are least able to protect themselves in our society and are particularly vulnerable to abuse and neglect. St. Andrew’s United Methodist Church is dedicated to protecting the youth and children who participate in the life of this congregation and who attend groups, events and classes held on our campus.
Since 1996, the General Conference of the United Methodist Church has mandated that each local congregation has a child/youth protection policy (CYPP). Coverage under the Conference Insurance Program requires that churches have a CYPP in place. All employees of a local church are required to review and acknowledge their church’s CYPP on an annual basis.
All groups meeting on St. Andrew's campus must have a group officer sign the adoptions page of the CYPP, indicating that they will abide by the policy, at a minimum. Then, the onus is on that group to comply.
Church Ministries & Groups
