Coming in October 2025 — The Underground is a ministry for teens led by U-Turn Ministries in partnership with St. Andrew’s Dresden and other local congregations.
The heart and soul of U-Turn is to inspire youth to believe (in Jesus Christ & their identity in Him), equip youth to succeed (at life & ministry) and influence youth to respond to the need (a lost & hurting world)!

This is the first time U-Turn Ministries held its week-long day camp in Dresden and St. Andrew’s was honoured to host. The theme was School of Rock, based on the movie: build your life on the Rock, when we are overwhelmed, go to the higher Rock.
A total of 20 kids took part — with a large crew of counsellors and helpers in the background. Lunch and snacks were provided and no child was turned away for any reason. Each day began in a large group: music and messages based on the theme, then they break into small groups for games, snack and craft. Afternoon fun events (water, balloons scavenger hunt, bouncy castle etc) took advantage of the great weather all week. The final 20 minutes was a large group gathering/reminder of the theme.
Camp U-Turn is run by the same folks who will operate The Underground teen ministry at St. Andrew’s in the fall.
