SERVE
Outside the Church
We are called to be the way of love in the world. We do this by serving from a stance of generous humility and focusing on relationships.
Current Ministry Partners
We work to support our ministry partners through consistent support of time and donations.
Casa Maria
Casa Maria is a growing community in Richfield offering a place for neighbors to come together to receive groceries, clothing and share information about resources. St. John’s members have been involved from the early days helping this beautiful community find its footing and adapt the changing needs of its neighbors. St. John’s volunteer work includes but is not limited to helping to stock shelves, distribute, and make connections within the community.
First Nations Kitchen
Located at All Saint’s Indian Mission in South Minneapolis, First Nations Kitchen provides a Sunday night supper for people in the neighborhood. The goal is to have healthy, organic, food, based on the ancestral diet of the First Nations people. St. John’s volunteers the Second Sunday of each month.
Good Courage Farm
Good Courage Farm is a nonprofit agrarian ministry in collaboration with The Episcopal Church. Good Courage Farm uses regenerative farming methods to grow a variety of perennial food crops as well as home to a host of God’s creatures. St. John’s partnership with Good Courage Farm includes but is not limited to Farm Stewardship programs, FCSA and special events.
TRUST
TRUST is a non-profit organization based in South Minneapolis that unites and mobilizes congregations and the community to serve and empower our neighbors. TRUST has 19 congregational partners, of which St. John’s is one, who work in tandem to bring change through community-based programs and initiatives. Currently, these include ministry to seniors including yard work, transportation, chore help, fall prevention and balance classes, estate sale help, and meals on wheels.
Justice & Service at St. John’s has a history of listening deeply to the spirit, community and our neighbors figuring out where to serve. This deep and intentional listening has led us to serve with homeless, environmental groups, LGBTQ+ and immigrant communities. Justice & Service meets regularly to engage with each other and our community needs. In addition to our ministry partners mentioned above we are currently serving through:
Earth Matters
Haiti Partnership School
Immigrant needs including direct, legal support, and North STAR Alliance
First Nations Study Group
