Programs

Text Box: CityFaith is a collaborative urban ministry course between the School of Theology at Sewanee and the St. Andrews Center. This course will focus on work-life balance, nurturing an authentic faith and voice, interfaith dialogue and working with people from all walks of life as an advocate for social justice.

CityFaith

Text Box: Now in its second year, our community garden program has a two-fold mission: to share fresh food with our hungry neighbors while also providing a distinct place for service and worship that builds community. With monthly workdays and worship services, we strive for an intergenerational, multicultural experience that will revitalize both body and spirit.

Hartnell Farm

Text Box: A 60-acre former dairy farm within the city limits of Chattanooga will be used for multicultural education programs, a retreat site and food resource. Fall plans include an apple and peach orchard, strawberry field and blueberries. St. Nicholas School and East Side Elementary will collaborate for a series of farm activities centered on themes of “sacred places” and “teaching tolerance.”

Text Box: We are seeking support to bring music lessons to individual students, to create a multicultural St. Andrews Center Children’s Choir, as well as offer theater, dance, poetry, painting, sculpture, mixed media collage and ceramics. In addition we will teach about foodways, cooking, gardening, American and local history, careers and civics using the arts as an interdisciplinary approach and springboard.
