St. Andrew’s Dresden is a community of believers. We are endeavouring to follow Christ’s commands in Matthew 28:19-20 to go into the world, to baptize and to teach, and in 1 Corinthians 3:6 to plant seeds of faith. We have a handful of younger families and some dedicated grandparents who are shepherding their grandchildren. Just a few years ago, we had no young families. Currently, our Sunday School enrollment adds up to approximately six children. We are praying for continued growth.
