Saint John’s Social Ministry strives to lead the members of the congregation, both individually and corporately, to witness their faith through commitment to serve the needs of our community, nation, and world.

ELCA World Hunger

We are significant supporters of the ELCA World Hunger. Working with and through our congregations, in the United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands Lutheran churches overseas and other partners, ELCA World Hunger is uniquely positioned to reach communities in need. From health clinics to microloans, water wells to animal husbandry, community meals to advocacy, your gifts to ELCA World Hunger make it possible for the ELCA to respond, supporting sustainable solutions that get at the root causes of hunger and poverty.

As members of the ELCA, we support Lutheran Disaster Response in relief efforts such as earthquakes, fires, floods and refugee crises. 100% of all monies donated to Lutheran Disaster Response goes to relief efforts.
