Lay
Ministry, or
Ministry of the People,
is an important part of any Church Family. In most
families, members
have chores such as taking out the trash, doing the
dishes, mowing the
lawn, taking care of pets and cleaning your room. In our
Church Family
here at St. John's,
we also have chores. Some of the visible, more obvious
chores are
serving on the altar, singing in the choir, and working
with the Church
School or Youth Programs. In addition, there are less
obvious, behind
the scene duties. Ministry
is
at
the
heart
of
who
we
are
as
Christians,
Episcopalians
and
members
of
St.
John's
Church.
As
it
says
in
the
Catechism:
"The ministry of lay persons is to represent Christ and his Church; to bear witness to him wherever they may be and, according to the gifts given them, to carry on Christ’s work of reconciliation in the world; and to take their place in the life, worship, and governance of the Church."
At
St.
John's we offer a multitude of ministry
opportunities
for people to take their place in the life, worship,
and governance of
the Church. Please explore all our
Ministries or refer to

Contact List to
