Adult Discipleship
One of the core values of St. Andrew’s Community Church is INTENTIONAL DISCIPLESHIP. No one accidentally follows Jesus just like no one accidentally gets in shape. Discipleship is an intentional investment to KNOW Jesus, GROW in relationship with Him and GO out and share the Good News with others.
We are committed to growing as faithful disciples of Jesus Christ and offer a variety of ways throughout the year to help accomplish that goal. From weekly BIBLE STUDIES, to MIDWEEK, to a variety of SUNDAY SCHOOL options, we invite you to get plugged in and take intentional steps in becoming more like Christ. If you have questions or are looking for a way to connect and grow in your faith, contact Rev. Josh Coats, our Pastor of Discipleship, at 405.692.4242 or jcoats@saokc.org. Below is a list of our discipleship opportunities for adults.

We also enjoy fun and fellowship beyond Sunday morning, supporting and caring for each other. We have been blessed with the opportunity to raise our children in the church, and are now on a journey of supporting our adult children and other families as they raise their children in the community of God.
