In the Book of Order, a committee is "appointed either to study and recommend appropriate action or to carry out directions or decisions already made by a governing body (which is the session in the local church). It shall make a full report to the governing body that created it, and its recommendations shall require action by the governing body" (G-9.0500).
Since the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) has a strong emphasis on order, it is only fitting that the church organizes people into committees where individuals can share their gifts and passions.
The current committees at St. Andrew's are: Children, Youth, Spiritual Growth, Worship, Outreach, Resources, Capital Campaign, Missions, Facilities, the Officer Nominating Committe, and Church Family. All the committees are committed to following Jesus Christ through the "7 Marks of Discipleship" and empowering this congregation in worship and service as it reaches out to both the local community and the world.
