Is it relative or absolute? Why this one word makes all the difference. This class will help you process the implications of truth and how that affects the way you parent, the way your kids understand their world, and the moral implications for everyone in your family. Truth (September 21) Easy to say, difficult to know. In our day-and-age, hope comes at a high price. The most common question get asked is, “How do I help my kid when they are depressed, cutting, or processing suicide?” Here’s what you need to know to navigate those challenges. Hope (September 28)

The St. Andrew’s Leadership Institute is a nine-month living and learning experience for recent college graduates designed to equip, strengthen, and inspire young leaders and prepare them for ministry or work in the secular world. The associates live with host families and integrate into the St. Andrew’s intergenerational church community.
Small Groups ANNA DIRKSE SALI shaped my life immensely after college. I quickly developed lifelong friendships with others in the program as we learned more about our faith and living out our callings. I got to learn first-hand what it meant to work in ministry and strongly felt the Lord calling me to stay. It’s been awesome to see God work through SALI, and it was such a sweet and memorable time in my life.
St. Andrews Creative Institute (SACI) is a holistic and relational ministry where faith and arts intersect as neighborhood kids are guided and taught by experienced professionals in a safe, comfortable, and creative space. SACI Values: Harmony. Creativity. Empowerment.

SALI alums still at St. Andrew’s TROY DELUCA SALI impacted me immensely, and I am thankful for the experience of being welcomed into the St. Andrew’s community. It was amazing to see twelve of us from all over the country come together and become family. We shared experiences, awkward interactions, and funny and vulnerable moments. Most importantly, what brought us together was the curiosity and love for the person of Jesus and what God was doing in our lives.
