St. Andrew United Methodist Church
Welcome home.
Family Promise of Greater Denver has worked hard keeping families safe and housed during these difficult last couple of years. We are excited to announce that the rotational model has returned and families are now back to being hosted by faith communities in the Denver Metro area. St. Andrew is looking forward to our first hosting opportunity on May 22nd-June 5th. Our second set of dates quickly follow, June 26-July 9th and we need your help! From setting up and preparing the space before they arrive, to providing a meal and a warm smile while they are staying with us; we have multiple opportunities for you, your family, or group to serve. Please email with any questions or to learn more about these serving opportunities!
Each Sunday we partner with AfterHours Denver to provide sack lunches for those experiencing homelessness in our city. Lunches are made each Sunday morning at St. Andrew and then taken downtown and handed out near Civic Center Park. Help is needed in making and distributing lunches. If you would like to be a part of this life giving ministry, come and see us near the Outreach Depot at St Andrew each Sunday morning or email for more details!
Having a backpack provides significant benefits for those experiencing homelessness. In addition to keeping their belongings safe, it is a means of carrying a majority of what they own with them. Just Care Backpacks are filled with nonperishable food items, socks, a reusable water bottle, first aid kits, sunscreen, etc. Don’t forget to grab one the next time you are at St. Andrew and take it with you to give to someone in need in our community.
Urban Peak is a safe place for one of our most vulnerable populations, our youth ages 15-24, experiencing homelessness. Once a month St Andrew serves and is in community with the youth at Urban Peak. The 3rd Sunday of each month volunteers are needed to prepare and serve dinner. All groceries and items needed to prepare will be provided by St Andrew.

Joshua Station
St. Andrew assists Joshua Station with their Spruce A Room and Community Dinner programs. Spruce A Room involves transforming a room into a home for a family participating in the Joshua Station Transformational Housing Program. Turning an ordinary hotel room into a home for a family is so special; making it a cozy and peaceful space for them by thinking through who the family is. Community Dinner involves preparing, serving, and eating a meal with the families at Joshua Station.
