St. Andrew’s is a very active and vibrant congregation within the community of Hanover. We feel strongly that God has called us to reach out and show love and compassion to all people, therefore, our outreach goes well beyond Sunday mornings.
All ministries have been suspended or moved to online activities for the time being, but will resume when it is safe to do so.

Choir
St. Andrew’s has a small and mighty choir who prepare pieces for special worship services such as Christmas Eve, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Led by Linda Yenssen and Donna Ward, they hope to share the message of Christ through music, and the simple joy that singing can bring. All are welcome to join us in this ministry.
St. Andrew’s Women
The Women of St. Andrew’s meet once a month and fundraise throughout the year. Each meeting focuses on a special religious theme and often includes a guest speaker. The devotions and fellowship enjoyed by the group all help to provide spiritual growth for the ladies. There is an average of 20–25 enthusiastic women who meet to plan various activities within the congregation and support many worthwhile causes in the community and around the world. Part of their outreach is the good cheer committee, which diligently sends out cards with a caring message and arranges visits, as a way to show the love and support that connects us as a Church family. They are a vital part of St. Andrew’s.
