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.

Pumpkin Patch

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