Dan and Beth St. Andre come to Bethlehem from Natchitoches, Louisiana (where the movie, “Steel Magnolias”, was made). Actually, that’s where they met, married and started their family – three daughters, Heather, Cassie and Jennie, all of whom are graduates of UGA! (Go DAWGS!) They have 2 beautiful grandchildren, Emma and Noah, who belong to Heather and Brian Robinson. Jennie married Michael Tolbert about a year ago, and Cassie is still a single lady. Dan and Beth’s parents live in Natchitoches.
Dan grew up “Air Force” and went to junior and senior high school in Europe and college at Louisiana College in Pineville, Louisiana and then to Southwestern Seminary in Ft. Worth, Texas. Beth grew up with Shoney’s Big Boy Restaurants in Indiana and Kentucky and went to Northwestern State University in Natchitoches and just recently finished another degree a few years ago at Piedmont College in Demorest, Georgia near Bethlehem Baptist. She teaches at Hazel Grove Elementary in Habersham County.
They have been in ministry for over 30 years! Dan will tell you he “outmarried” himself! They have served in churches in Louisiana, Texas and Georgia. Georgia has become their “second home” as their immediate family is all here. By the way, Dan is an avid bass fisherman, thanks to Beth’s dad and the growing-up memories of fishing with his dad, grandfather and brother, and Beth loves to get under a blanket and read a good book!
