St. John’s is a really big place. In order to care well for each other, we strive to be a place where  God’s people care for God’s people.

Carefully selected and trained lay volunteers work alongside staff in a variety of roles.
If you are interested in joining us, please explore the options below.
The first step in joining many of these teams is to attend our Care Ministry Training, offered four times a year. This group is also perfect for those not sure yet about how they would like to serve.
