One may ask: Why would a church host a Concert Series, and especially with music that is not considered sacred?  There was a time in history when the church was the center of music and arts in society.  That historic role fits with our worldview here at St. Andrews.  We agree with Abraham Kuyper who declared, “There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is sovereign over all, does not cry ‘Mine!’ ”  That statement has huge implications for all of life, but certainly no smaller implication for music and the arts. So, we celebrate the talents and creativity of men and women and believe that God, their Creator, is glorified when they make use of them.  We desire to provide opportunity for local and national talent to perform in this venue.  It is our pleasure to present to you, our community, this series of concerts, for your enjoyment and enrichment. Blessings, Dale B. Welden Senior Pastor, St. Andrews Presbyterian Church

The commitment of SAPC’s Music Ministry to the Palmetto Artist Series can summed up in the following ways. First, we pledge to present events of an exceptionally high caliber. We trust our audiences won’t be looking at their watches or wondering why they wasted a Friday evening. Rather it is our goal that they will tell their friends, neighbors and co-workers what an incredible event they missed. Secondly, we will strive to present creative “user friendly” events. From older elementary children to senior adults, from seasoned concert-goers to first-timers, we promise to present tasteful, family friendly, down-to-earth entertainment for all to enjoy. Finally, you won’t have to take a second mortgage out to purchase tickets. By joining with local businesses and individual patrons, we can keep the ticket costs affordable for the average family.
