Our Mission

“We will be a servant church, recognizing the infinite worth of every person and believing that Christ has called us to active involvement on behalf of human brotherhood.”
-St. Johns Covenant

Education

 St. John’s affiliations assist us in reaching out to many groups. Often, these are government-sponsored groups whose funding needs may be insufficient. We seek to assist organizations by offering space for classes, volunteering our time through mentoring, creating drives for the collection of needed items, and helping others expand their educational horizons. In this area, we work with organizations like Freedom School, Highland Renaissance Academy, and Right Moves for Youth.

We are shaping lives for the future, offering our knowledge, our skills, our time, and our talents to educate tomorrow’s leaders.  Together we are mentors and friends, helping children and adults grasp the language and concepts of our culture, helping others find their skills, their knowledge, and their talents to soar to new heights. We seek to be a servant church. Would you serve, too?

St. John’s affiliations assist us as a church family in reaching out to many groups. Often these are government sponsored groups whose funding needs may be insufficient.

At St. John’s we seek to assist organizations in their educational needs by offering space for meetings or classes, by volunteering our time through mentoring, by creating drives for collection of needed items, and by helping others expand their educational horizons. See the opportunities where you can serve: Freedom School at QC Family Tree, Highland Renaissance Academy, Right Moves for Youth, HEART Math Tutoring, and St. John’s Weekday School.

Healthcare

Concern for the physical well-being of others prompts these volunteers to reach out to better the health situations of those directly related to St. John’s and those who may never have heard of us. This group works with Charlotte Rescue Mission, National Alliance on Mental Illness, and Care Ring.

Homelessness

This group works to provide sufficient housing, food services, clothing, and counseling to the homeless. Our heartfelt desire to meet the needs of the homeless and impoverished souls enables us to partner with Room in the Inn, Charlotte Family Housing, and Roof Above.

Hunger

These volunteers work with food drives, meal delivery, and raising money for local and international agencies tasked with ending hunger. The organizations with whom they partner are CROP Walk, Friendship Trays, Loaves and Fishes, and Second Harvest Food Bank.

Peace Building

This group has a serious commitment to the issues our community faces. Much attention is given to the ways that we relate to other religious groups, other races, and other cultures. These servants seek to meet the needs in our community through groups such as Raising South Sudan, Habitat for Humanity, and Mecklenburg Ministries.

Children and Families

 This team is composed of members who long to nurture the relationships of Charlotte’s families and their children. Through advocacy and our financial support, this team works together to make a difference. They work specifically with Crisis Assistance Ministry, and A Child’s Place.
