St. John's Ministries
Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV)
"Therefore GO and make
disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything
I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very
end of the age."
St. John's MCC Church invites you to get connected! We have an abundance of ministries and groups that give you the perfect opportunity to get involved.
We want your relationship with God to be a full one and your fellowship with others to be an enriching experience. Don't be shy, step right in--serve and be served through all we offer. So come on and join us as we praise God and share our lives with one another.
“Now there are a variety of gifts, but the same Spirit; and
there are varieties of service, but the same Lord.”
1 Corinthians 12:4-6

Deacon’s Ministry
Based on the Biblical principles outlined in 1 Timothy 3, the Ministry of the Deaconate is the service ministry of the church where persons who feel called to service in and among God’s people are trained in the basic rudiments of the work of the church, the fundamentals of peer listening, presence in a time of need, as well as care for members and regular attenders of the church. Those who feel called to this ministry should schedule an appointment with the Pastor.

Board members are elected from the membership of St. John’s MCC at annual Congregational meetings and welcome your input.
Stewardship Ministry
The Stewardship Ministry assists the Board of Directors and the Pastor with their joint responsibility of raising the funds through the congregation to support the budget and ministries of the church. The ministry communicates throughout the year the biblical teachings around stewardship and the central role of stewardship plays in the life of a maturing Christian disciple.
