About Us
Welcome
Centered in Christ, Grounded in tradition, Progressive in thought, Generous in service
St. Andrew United Methodist Church has a place for you. We embrace Jesus’ message that God loves everyone and we affirm that all persons are of sacred worth.
We welcome people of every age, race and gender identity; diverse nationalities, ethnicities, and sexual orientations; any family structure, economic reality, physical and mental ability, education and faith history. While there are differences among us, we can love alike though we may not think alike.
You are invited to join this nurturing community on a faith journey toward greater love, understanding and mutual respect.
Some of us are new and just beginning the journey; some of us have been on the path for a good long time and most of us are somewhere along the way. You will be loved and encouraged wherever you are!
The Pathways Center for Spiritual Growth, which is our Adult Ministries education program, offers over 100 learning experiences each year: parenting and financial classes, an extensive Disciple Bible Study and JustFaith long-term study program, short-term Bible studies and book groups to name just a few.
Mission Outreach experiences are numerous, too. Work on projects in the Denver metro area, around Colorado and the West, as well as Belize or Guatemala. Make sandwiches and prepare sack lunches to be taken to Civic Center Park, help build a Habitat for Humanity Home. The opportunities to serve others are plentiful.
Music, the Arts, ministries for Children (birth through 5th grade) and Youth (6th grade-12th grade), plus caring ministries, support groups, and fellowship groups round out the multitude of opportunities available to you.

Location
Communion
Communion at St. Andrew is open to all who are, or would like to be, followers of Jesus Christ. The invitation comes from Jesus Christ, not from this church. Communion is offered each Sunday during the 8:00 am Chapel service, and on the first Sunday of each month in the Sanctuary services. Gluten-free bread is available, and grape juice is served in the cup, not wine.
Baptism
Baptism is the sacrament of initiation that joins us with the church and with Christians everywhere. It’s a symbol of new life and a promise of God’s saving love – and a sign of God’s forgiveness of our sins. Both infants and adults can be baptized. The United Methodist church recognizes all baptisms, therefore we do not “re-baptize” persons.
Prior to scheduling a baptism, parents are expected to attend an information session to learn more about this very sacred event and its meaning. Parents do not need to be members of St. Andrew, but must be attending worship regularly and active at St. Andrew. For more information and to register for an Information Session, contact Melanie Rowlison – 303-794-2683 or email Melanie. Childcare is available with your call to Susan Brown, Childcare Coordinator, at 303-794-2683 x151, a week prior to the class. All classes run from 6:30-7:30 pm.
