St Andrew Missionary Baptist Church Pvt School was founded by Pastor Dr. Robert Lacy, D.Div., in February 1975.
Her first location (a childcare center), was Harmon Street in Berkeley,CA. Her second move was to 40th Avenue and Foothill Boulevard, Oakland, CA, for only one year.
Then the Lord moved Dr. Lacy, to inquire about our present location.
Easter Sunday in April 1978, our current location was opened for services at 2624 West Street, Oakland, CA. Dr. Lacy had a vision to start a Private K-12th School, and the school opened her doors in September 1978, advancing one grade level each year, until she reached her peak.
St. Andrew Private School Parent Corporation Prayer Clinic has graduated thousands of highly skilled, and leaders.
From a professional baseball player to a top executive, and minister.
October 2003 St. Andrew Theological and Academic University opened her doors for the first time offering courses in Basic Theology to Church Administration, from Teacher Education to Business Administration.
Our university has been adding new courses every year to the course of study.
