George W. Andrew (1896-?), American minister and educator, served in the Methodist Protestant Church. He was originally from Indiana, received his education at High Point College in North Carolina where, prior to entering the ministry, he studied to be an engineer. He was licensed to preach in the Methodist Protestant Church in 1928 in the Indiana Conference. He did not serve in the Indiana Conference, but was loaned to the Board of Missions. He and his wife were asked to teach at the Alvan Drew School in Kentucky. While teaching, he established preaching points and held services in the mountain country. They taught at the school for four years, from 1922 to 1926. Andrew left the school to complete his A.B. degree and was later ordained by the Methodist Protestant Church in the North Carolina Conference in 1928. After some illness, he accepted the pastorate of the College Church at Tehuaca, Texas and served from 1930 until 1934. He was then asked to return to the Alvan Drew School as superintendent but left in 1939 due to failing health and moved to Texas. Information about them after that date is incomplete.
