Circles mean a lot to those in the working world. We circle up on meetings and circle back on conversations. Circles are also the people we run with. We have our professional circles and social circles. But we run so fast that we don't always have a chance to grow our spiritual circle. To find that place where we are understood and welcomed for our passion and our loves. For the working woman of St Andrew, we’re ready to draw the circle wider. Join our monthly contact list.

We have some great hopes for future social outings; everything from big events to small impromptu get-togethers and happy hours. Given that we have a small budget as a new ministry, we are looking for any leads or offerings anyone has for potential venues, vendors who would be willing to donate to us, or other ideas. We also need help with organizing future events, so let us know if you are interested in helping our team.

Men's Communities
Methodist Men Ministry (MMM) is a community of Christian men growing together through service, learning and fellowship. Our primary purpose is to declare the centrality of Christ in the lives of men and in all their relationships. The focal points of MMM are:
- Fellowship: Meeting and establishing friendships with men who are Christian focused.
- Learning: Studying the message and the ‘good news” of Christ and how it pertains to our lives.
- Service: Serving in and outside of St. Andrew through the Messenger of Hope Scholarship, ImagineU Mentor-ship Ministry, and the Strength for Service devotional program. Plus provide support for church events.
Messenger of Hope Scholarship Fund
Our biggest mission, started in 2001 by Ray Adams (Chairman), has raised over $750,000 for high school students in economic need to help them achieve their college goals. A 2009 recipient told us, “This scholarship helped me get through my undergrad which propelled me to law school. I earned my Juris Doctor degree in 2020. Thank you for giving this kid hope way back then. God bless!” The scholarship is mostly funded by the annual St. Andrew Open Golf Tournament held in May.
If you are interested in applying for the Messenger of Hope Scholarship, link coming soon.
ImagineU Mentor-ship Ministry
ImagineU identifies high school students that are experiencing unique challenges in their path to higher education, and mentors (MM volunteers) help students stay in school and on course to a higher education. This mission, chaired by Joe Rule and Micah Mahaney, is spiritually lifting and fulfilling by helping young high school students achieve success.
Strength of Service
This devotional mission supports our military men and women with Christian devotionals signed by our church community with a personal note and then sent to our troops at a military base within Texas. This mission is chaired by Mike Kelley and Gary Brooks. Over 3000 devotionals have been distributed over the past four years.
Second Saturday | Year-Round, 8:00 a.m.-10:00 a.m., Piro Hall
Join us for breakfast and fellowship. For more information, contact [email protected].
At St. Andrew, we seek to build a community of men who support and strengthen one another—a way to live into Proverbs 27:17, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” With all the responsibilities and demands on men in their personal and professional lives, we believe God desires for us to come together to build friendships and grow spiritually. Together, we are stronger. Together, we are The Forge. Join our contact list.
