Students
In Sunday School, mid-week small groups, and dozens of special events throughout the year, students gather together to make friends, have fun, and learn God’s principles for making wise decisions in their lives and relationships.
At St. Andrew, our student ministry helps students find a sense of purpose and belonging in their relationships with God and their community.

Stories
Mission Trip
JJ and Ira Landry suffered unthinkable loss in 2016. Their story was one of many in the flood-ravished Baton Rouge community, where St. Andrew students served on their annual mission trip.
Camp Impact
Friends, worship, plus a whole lotta mud made Camp Impact 2017 a blast for campers and volunteers alike.
Annual Events
On campus, in our community, and far beyond the church walls, St. Andrew Student Ministry provides the chance to grow in community and serve Christ on special trips. These annual events – Ski Trip, Middle School Retreat, Mission Trip, and Camp Impact – help our students come together and live out our mission.

412 is our weekly youth group for all Middle School students (6th-8th grade). The group centers around 1 Timothy 4:12: “Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.” Dinner is always provided. On occasion, we ask for a small donation to cover costs.
412 Event Calendar
412 Opportunities:
Gather | Expand community
Students invite friends to church for these entry-level events, which allow guests to become comfortable with the church environment.
Do fun things as a middle school group! Cost and transportation will vary, and registration is required for these special events at off-campus venues.
Grow | DEEPEN FAITH
Join for an exciting time of singing and storytelling. Share our story and share God's story, as we draw near to God and God draws near to us.
How does faith relate to science? How do I balance school and church life? Why should I be a Christian? We address tough questions like these at Café 412. In a relaxed environment, students hear from people like small group leaders, St. Andrew leadership, and high school mentors.
This is a high-energy night, completely student lead! 412 Plus includes games, skits, funny videos, worship and challenging lessons. Students showcase their leadership by bringing friends and having ownership in this program.
The CrossoVer
The Crossover is a time for students to come together at 10:30 a.m. between Sunday School hours and hang out, play games, and eat food with friends. We encourage parents to join as well. The first Sunday of every month has a Pancake breakfast, and the third Sunday of the month has a live Game Show event.
