General Operating fund supports worship, programs for children and youth, Bible studies, small groups, pastoral care and support, mission trips, community service, and building and operational needs.

At St. John’s, we recognize that everything we have comes from God.  Each year, we ask members to pledge for the coming year to support programs mentioned above.

Through your tithes and offerings, we can show our love for God and community and help people find hope in Jesus Christ.

Giving is an act of worship that expresses gratitude for God’s faithfulness. We asks you to thoughtfully and prayerfully plan your annual giving, tithing, or a one-time gift for a specific purpose.

Bag 'N Hand Pantry

St. John’s Bag ’n Hand Pantry, one of the largest food pantries in northern New Mexico, weekly provides fresh produce and packaged food to the hungry in and around Santa Fe.

St. John’s congregation and Foundation,   the Santa Fe community, and multiple grants support this outreach mission.

A Thanksgiving campaign provide additional funds for the pantry to distribute a complete holiday meal that typicially includes a turkey or ham, potatoes, a vegetable, and an apple or pumpkin pie.

Pumpkin Patch

Since the early 1990s, St. John’s has been selling pumpkins to benefit church programs and then bag ‘N Hand Pantry.

The patch is a partnership between the for-profit Pumpkin Patch Fundraisers,Inc.

Navajos near Farmington, New Mexico raise the pumpkins for St. John’s annual event.

Those who buy pumpkins often leave a “tip” which goes directly to the church, which receives 40% of the pumpkin sales.
