St. John partners with many local organizations, such as the Gifts for All God’s Children program, The program helps to ensure that disadvantaged and at-risk children in local urban areas receive Christmas gifts, and that through these gifts, they experience the love of Christ, and those who donate experience the joy of giving. We are blessed to be able to serve others in the name of Jesus.
