He was also a member of the Progressive National Baptist Convention, Indiana Church Federation, American Baptist Association, Kiwanis International, Prince Hall Grand Masonic Lodge, and received the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Indianapolis-based Center for Leadership Development.

Andrews Memorial Way."
