Ministries
Our vision of being Christ’s hands in the world and our location on the fringe of downtown Denver have formed our tradition of service to the disenfranchised in our neighborhood. We also minister to the world far beyond our doors, in New Orleans, Haiti, El Salvador, Sudan, Honduras, Guatemala, Malawi, and other locations around the globe.
Our commitment to outreach includes:
- 1.5% of our annual budget designated for outreach
- 75% of the adjusted gross interest income of our endowment fund to outreach.
- Sponsorship of a resolution at Diocesan Convention to bind the diocesan budget to Millennium Development Goals percentage giving guidelines
- Adoption of the principles and guidelines of the Millennium Development Goals by St. Andrew’s
- Support to the St. Francis Center, an Episcopal day support and resource center serving Denver’s homeless population
- Food collection for Metro CareRing, a local food bank founded by St. Andrew’s
- Partnership in the Interfaith Hospitality Network, an ecumenical program serving homeless families with children
- Office and rehearsal space for St. Martin’s Chamber Choir
We have a strong desire at St. Andrew’s to increase our active participation in outreach, involving more parishioners in direct service to our community and the world. More about Outreach
St. Andrew’s also seeks to provide a warm, friendly environment that will invite, welcome and engage new members. Our Evangelism Committee contacts visitors to welcome them to the congregation, hosts New Member welcoming dinners, and sponsors an annual Opportunity Fair to highlight the activities and ministries at St. Andrew’s.
