Outreach
Stewardship
At St. Andrew’s United Church, the Stewardship team believes that discipleship and generosity serve as the foundation for spiritual growth. As such the Stewardship team is involved in developing services of worship for the congregation and outreach into the community.
Mission Service
The Mission and Service Fund is integral to the United Church of Canada. Members of the United Church are working to transform and save lives, inspire meaning, and build a better world through the Mission and Service Fund. It does this by reaching out to those in need to provide assistance through community programs both at home and abroad.
Community Kitchen
The Community Kitchen provides hot meals to clients every Wednesday between 4 - 5 p.m. as a take out service. The meals are provided to those people in the community who have been identified as being in need. The meals are provided by church members, the Rotary Club of Chatham and ladies from St. Michael’s Basilica.
