Our church provides many opportunities to serve both within the church and in the world beyond our doors. We promote our spiritual growth within the congregation through such ministries as our music program, our Bible studies, our Sunday School program and our youth activities. Below is a list of some of the outside missions/organizations we currently support, both financially and with our time.

All Church Community
St. John’s was one of five founding churches of this ministry, along with Mt. Calvary in Fruitland, Friendship in Allen, Mt. Olive Christian Fellowship Church in Fruitland, and Trinity Faith Christian Center in Fruitland. This is an organization of believers banded together to share Love, Hope and Unity with the community. As part of this ministry, an All Church Community Choir has been formed with members from each of the church’s choirs. We sponsor an annual picnic which is open to the entire community featuring this choir, as well as other musical performances throughout the year. Other past activities include providing a Christmas Breakfast for residents of two local shelters, assisted the City of Fruitland in their Annual Easter Egg Hunt, and providing cookies to the Allen and Fruitland Police Departments.
