In 1986, a group of people gathered together in a small living room to discuss the future of a new church in Plano. As they prayed together about this new faith community, they began to discuss what the church should be named. In reading scripture, the group began to notice one person who was living out the Christian faith in a unique way: Andrew.

In the gospel of John, Andrew is described as the first evangelist, bringing his brother Peter to Jesus. Andrew was also the disciple who introduced Jesus to the boy with fishes and loaves to feed the 5,000, and later in the gospel Andrew brings outsiders to Jesus so they could become part of the community. The first members of St. Andrew Methodist Church chose to create a legacy of inviting others into the body of Christ when they decided to name our church in honor of Andrew the disciple.

At St. Andrew, we believe we should not limit our faith to attending worship on Sunday. Our relationship with God should shape everything we do and say. We hope that everyone who becomes a part of our faith community will feel encouraged to live as passionate servants of Christ in all that they do: at work, at school, at home, with friends and family.
