ST. ANDREW’S MISSION STATEMENT

The purpose of the Missions Committee of Session is to guide the congregation in the ministry of serving God and act as God’s instrument in Christian caring and service to the Davison community, the state, the nation and the world.

The Session works under the Biblical commandment of the tithe, so at least 10% of the annual budget goes toward mission.

The people of St. Andrew’s have always given generously to meet the special requirements to promote the love and caring of Christ in our world.
