The mission of the Center is to support local parishes through education and outreach efforts while fostering unity among the faithful. St. Andrew House is an independent Michigan nonprofit institution. In addition to His Eminence Archbishop NATHANIEL, board members include: Warren David and George Metry ([[AOCA|Antiochian Orthodox]]), Steve Lionas ([[GOARCH|Greek Orthodox]]), and Dean Calvert and Myke Jacobs (OCA). The board also includes the current president of the Council of Christian Orthodox Churches (COCC) of Detroit.
St. Andrew House formerly was home to the Passionist Fathers of St. Paul of Cross, who lived in the facility for more than 60 years. Now the building serves Metropolitan Detroit’s Detroit's Orthodox faithful as a retreat and conference center.
St. Andrew House’s House's calling is to serve the whole Church, and it has in its membership faithful and clergy of almost every jurisdiction in Metropolitan Detroit. St. Andrew House is designed to support area parishes and to serve as a place where these local communities can come together in unity and faith.
Many parishes have already made use of the Center’s Center's facilities to host youth retreats, liturgical music seminars and meetings.
The Center will have an educational focus. Speakers' series and seminars are planned for the future. The Center also has a 7,500 square-foot [[chapel]], which is offered as a resource for area [[parish]]es.
