The Friendly, Caring Church

St. Andrew's United Methodist Church ...
...Welcome Home.

 
 
St. Andrew's UMC, Baton Rouge is a friendly, caring congregation. We welcome you, and we hope you'll feel at home here.
Since 1981, St. Andrew's members from East Baton Rouge, Ascension, and Livingston parishes have gathered to support each other as we worship, celebrate, study, pray, teach, minister, and play together.
St. Andrew's has been recognized by the UMC as a Welcoming Congregation.
