Giving
At St Johns, we believe that everything we have comes from God to be used to His glory. Giving is a joyful opportunity, to be part of God’s work in the world, helping share the gospel and care for others in need.
​
We are funded entirely from what we give and raise as a local church community. The budget for our ministries that you see and experience here is made possible by the generousity and giving of members of our church. Recent budgets have run from $200,000 to nearly $250,000. St John’s encourages all members of our church to contribute to costs of what we believe God is doing here.
​
Regular giving is the most helpful way to support and grow the ministry at St Johns.
"Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give."
2 Corinthians 9:6-8
