Saint John's United Methodist Church

Who Are We And What Do We Believe?

MINISTRY OF ALL

At Saint John's, we believe faith is a verb. When Jesus said, "Follow me," he wasn't just talking to a few preachers, staff members or congregational leaders. The Ministry of All is exactly that—when we join the church, we promise to support its ministries with our prayers, presence, gifts, and service.
Welcome to Saint Johns

  1. We make a decision about PRAYER: learning it, practicing it, sharing it with others, and making it a central aspect of our daily life.
  2. We make a decision about PRESENCE: attending worship every week when in town and participating in a regular small group devoted to spiritual growth and practice.
  3. We make a decision about GIVING: committing ourselves to systematic, regular, proportional financial gifts to support Christ's ministries through our church. The basic standard for our giving is the Biblical tithe (10 percent) or a commitment to step up toward tithing until we attain it. Our hope is that many will experience the joy of extravagant generosity.
  4. We make a commitment to SERVE in at least one ministry in the church and one mission in the world.

Let us help you match your talents and gifts to the many opportunities both within Saint John 's UMC and beyond our doors. Visit How Do We Change the World? for more information.
