The goal is not to duplicate the clubs and athletic activities already available to children but to be a welcoming, homelike place where children will not only be safe, but where they can relax and be assured of their special place in God's world. W.A.T.C.H. provides bus transportation for children from the following elementary schools: Newport Heights, Woodland, Kaiser and Mariners. Contact Janice Zorn, 949.574.2234 or .

Young Believers Baptism
A class for children not baptized as infants who desire to make a public confession of their faith and be baptized. (Children baptized as infants desiring to learn more about their faith and make a decision to follow Christ are also welcome to join the workshop series).
Worship Participation (3rd-6th grade)
Every weekend, 3rd-6th graders have the opportunity to participate in our Sanctuary worship by symbolically "bringing in the light" at the beginning of worship and "carrying the light out into the world" at the end of worship. This is a centuries-old tradition in the Christian church called "ACOLYTE." Children who have signed up and gone through Acolyte training are placed on teams throughout the year.
Journey To Maturity
(6th grade Family Milestone)
In some ways you might look at this course as the ‘traditional’ CONFIRMATION course offered by churches everywhere . . . however, we have chosen to call it something more (because we believe that what we have developed for the children/youth of St. Andrew’s IS something more! – more in keeping with the Biblical model of Christ’s call to discipleship in God’s Kingdom.)
