 Mark
A. Hricko, Pastor
Mark Hricko has served as St.
Andrew’s pastor since January 1997. Previously,
he served churches in Baltimore and Laurel, Maryland as well as in a
number of ministries beyond the walls of the church. Mark
and his wife Patty are the parents of three children: Andrea (15),
Lauren (12), and David (10).
Mark’s vision for ministry is that
St. Andrew would be a dynamic model for Christian outreach and spiritual
support for a changing world.
“I see a place where people of all ages and cultures can be touched
by the reality of God’s love through the ministries we share and find an atmosphere of acceptance, celebration, and authentic spiritual
encouragement in our community of faith.”
Our pastor would love to meet you
at worship and discover how the people of St. Andrew might support you
in your continuing relationship with God or in experiencing that
relationship for the very first time.
