God's Word For The Spirit

The Society of St. Andrew began in 1979 as an intentional community called together in Christ.  The founders sought to live a lifestyle that honored God while serving others.  A major component of the ministry since its beginning has been to provide spiritual nourishment to others through God's Word.

We find our mandate for Gleaning America's Fields ~ Feeding America's Hungry in scripture.  But just as important as feeding hungry bodies is the need to feed hungry souls. 

As recorded in 2 Timothy 3:16-17:
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right. It is God’s way of preparing us in every way, fully equipped for every good thing God wants us to do. (NLT)

Throughout the scriptures God makes clear that those who have been blessed with plenty should share their abundance with those who do not have enough.  We believe that if the people of God who today make up the church take seriously God's commands and truly follow Jesus' example, no one in any neighborhood of America would ever experience hunger.  That is why we seek to educate others about hunger and poverty while reminding them of the Biblical imperative to feed the hungry. 

The Society of St. Andrew offers a Bible study on hunger that Sunday school classes and small groups are invited  to use.  Follow this link for more information.

The Society of St. Andrew offers devotional and giving programs during Advent and Lent that congregations and individuals are invited to use. 

We also offer a Vacation Bible School mission project each year to teach young people about hunger in America and how Jesus expects his followers to do something about it. 

Our Harvest of Hope program includes a vibrant spiritual growth component and worship is an important part of each day of Harvest of Hope.
