St Andrews Presbyterian Church

I have never been more blessed to be a part of a church as I have been here. I started visiting St. Andrew’s in November of 2012 and became a member about six months later. About the same time, I was invited to join the choir and I started to see the incredible love of these members. These people became my family when I had none and they have genuinely cared for and supported me, despite a job that kept me away from weekly choir rehearsals.
Through the choir, Sunday school and worship services, I have been encouraged and strengthened in my relationship with Christ in a unique and powerful way. Pastor Jeff genuinely cares for his congregation and getting to know each personally. He speaks challenging and humble sermons and speaks truth weekly.
The music ministry is diverse and engaging, from traditional chancel choir to children’s choirs to handbells to the contemporary worship band that leads the 11:10 am contemporary service. Music director James Roberts is educated and knowledgeable in music, not just church music ministry, and the organist, Keith Ross, is absolutely spectacular and really makes that organ sing.
This coming October my fiancé and I will get the pleasure of being wed in this beautiful sanctuary, but more importantly, in this beautiful church. It is a sad day indeed to be moving out of the city and away from this Christ-​like community.

We began visiting Houston-​area churches in the Summer of 2008. We found St. Andrew’s when discovering their VBS program for pre-​schoolers and elementary school students. We visited around the time we sent our children to Vacation Bible School that Summer.
Shortly after that time, we began to know that God was calling us to St. Andrew’s as our home church. We’ve been calling St. Andrew’s home for over three years now. We’ve baptized two of our children there, are active in the community, are a part of an adult sunday school class and really feel a part of what God is doing at St. Andrew’s and in the surrounding areas of Houston.
We have made lifelong friends since joining St. Andrew’s. We particularly love the worship services and are regular attenders of the 915 Contemporary Service. The music is current, contemporary and the band and worship leaders really connect with the pastor’s message. Pastor Jeff Smith is extremely thoughtful and articulate. He is a wonderful speaker and he inspires us weekly to connect with God and live the «kingdom life!»
We feel God’s presence at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church!
