Are you a "people person"? Be a greeter on Sunday mornings or join our Visitation ministry. Are you handy around the house? Help build and repair homes of those less fortunate through Habitat for Humanity or St. John's Work Camp. Do you enjoy singing? Help lead the worship service by joining one of our choirs. Do you want to learn more about the Bible? Join one of our Bible Study groups or A.L.P.H.A. Whatever your gift, there is a ministry that will allow you to share the talents you have been blessed with to serve God, your church and your community while sharing in fellowship with your church family.

Please look over the variety of ministries listed on this page. There is something for everyone, big or small! If you would like to join a group, volunteer for an activity, assist with a program, or have questions regarding any of our ministries, contact the church office at 732-264-1236.
