Rev. Chris Andrews
Chris is leader of Jubilee Pioneers, an ecumenical, open, community of spiritual seekers, and a Creation-Centered Theologian. He was a United Methodist Minister for more than 40 years, retiring as pastor of the largest Methodist Church in Baton Rouge.
Chris spent his childhood in the coastal parish of Cameron, where he found inspiration in the salt marshes with their prairie grasses and abundant life. As a teen, he found solace and love in the Methodist Church that was a short walk from his home in Opelousas, and decided to become a minister back then.
Chris is a graduate of Louisiana Tech University and St. Paul School of Theology, where he earned a Master of Divinity Degree.
On weekends, he relaxes and renews on the shore at False River.
Jubilee Pioneers is a vital, creative and inclusive spiritual community that celebrates the divine mystery in all of creation. Our commitment is to love and respect one another regardless of differences. We value compassion, generosity, forgiveness, creativity and play. We honor each person and each person’s unique journey.
All are welcome and accepted at our services.
Recent Sermons
Out of an abundance of compassion and concern for the well-being of others, Jubilee Pioneers is holding our celebrations online only. You can join us from your computer via Zoom or Facebook, and we’ll post the most recent sermon here for people who want to watch for the first time or again. We’ll return to our Monday evening meetings when it’s safe to do so.
