St. Andrew’s is a vibrant, diverse, and growing congregation in the heart of the Ozarks in Mountain Home, Arkansas. We are located in North Central Arkansas between the beautiful Twin Lakes Region of Bull Shoals Lake and Lake Norfork.
There are many active community outreach ministries at St. Andrew’s, along with social and educational “inlets.” Whether you are searching for companionship in a mens’ or womens’ group, crafting such as woodworking or stitching, exercise activities such as gardening, or yoga for balancing your body, mind and spirit, please click at left and see what we have happening on our Calendar page.
Between Sunday worship services, there is an Adult Forum which explores and discusses a variety of interesting topics. If you are interested in more formal theological studies, you might want to explore Education For Ministry, a distance learning four-year educational program at St. Andrew’s:

Being fed and healed is the message Jesus Christ brought us, and still does. No matter what your current station is in life, know you may enter as a stranger here, be fed, and leave with new friends.
Whenever you feel drawn to seek the deeper truths and meanings of the teachings of Jesus the Christ, and Holy Scriptures, know the “big church” of Christ is within the little church at St. Andrew’s, as well as within you! The Peace of the Lord be with you.

We heartily welcome EVERYONE to St. Andrew’s!

St. Andrew’s Welcomes Our New Vicar
Jim McDonald and His Wife Cathy!

James D. McDonald is a native Arkansan. Jim began his professional career as a hospital social worker. He soon became involved in opening the first Medicare Certified Hospice in Arkansas in 1982. From 2000-2005, Jim worked for a private duty nursing agency, opening new offices in multiple cities in Arkansas. He lobbied in the Arkansas state legislature to support improved benefits for chronically ill children for the Home Care Association of Arkansas. In 2005, was named interim CEO of a large hospice with five offices and two inpatient facilities.
        Sensing the call to ministry, Jim began pursuing his Master’s of Divinity with full time study for the priesthood at the University of the South in Sewanee in 2007. In June he will assume his roll as clergy at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Mountain Home, Arkansas. Jim also holds degrees from the University of Arkansas; a BS in Social Work and MS in Health Education.
        Cathy is a registered nurse with over 25 years of experience in maternal child nursing. She is currently the interim manager of clinical education for a hospital in central Tennessee, where she also teaches childbirth preparation classes.
        Jim and Cathy have three adult children. Two daughters, Betsy and Katie live in Little Rock. Their son Andrew is a junior at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri.
        St. Andrew’s is truly blessed to have Jim and Cathy here in our Mountain Home community!
