Pastoral Care At St. Andrew Lutheran Church
St. Andrew Lutheran Church seeks to reflect the Spirit of Christ in offering numerous support groups, growth groups, and seminars intended to help people live healthy lives.
We have pastors who are available to anyone in a crisis situation, needs pastoral care during a hospitalization, or needs information concerning resources available in the community. Additionally, we have ongoing support groups centered on specific issues which have been identified by our congregation as priority needs. All pastoral care ministries are open to anyone.
The pastors at St. Andrew reach out and support those who are being hospitalized or are homebound by making hospital and home visits. If you or someone you know would like one of our pastors to make a visit, please call the church office.

Counseling Ministries
Jesus said, "I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." John 10:10
Part of the mission of St. Andrew Lutheran Church is to encourage and share the abundant life Christ gives through a counseling ministry of:
Healing: anxiety, depression, guilt, anger, pain, abuse
Supporting: through difficult times and circumstances
Guiding: through decisions and choices, looking at options, alternatives and possibilities
Reconciling: of the self to God, oneself, and others
St. Andrew Church provides counseling services by pastoral staff and a counseling minister free of charge. St. Andrew sees this service as a part of its mission.
Pastor Rod, Pastor Tasha, Pastor Roger and Pastor Alan are all available to assist you. You may call the church office at 952-937-2776 for assistance.
