St. John's Presbyterian, San Francisco
 


Proposed Budget for 2010

There are so many ways to be a part of St. John’s family. Some ways are by giving and sharing our time and talents at a mission event, participating in a fellowship group, teaching Sunday School, or faithfully attending worship every Sunday. Other ways are by giving and sharing our treasure and resources.

egiveWe can now accept online contributions in an easy, secure way. St. John’s uses eGive for secure electronic giving. Please click on the eGive button to sign up. You may give a one-time gift to St. John’s or set up regular recurring commitments to be automatically drafted from your checking account.

Three ways St. John’s is committed to God’s vision are
through mission, music, and our children.


MISSION MUSIC KIDS & YOUTH

Philosophy: St. John’s strives to give 10% of the operating budget to organizations that coincide with St. John’s vision goals and are important interests of our congregants and guests.

Philosophy: St. John's believes that music is a vital way to enrich the lives of our faith family. Music can be a vehicle of expression of one's devotion to God as well as a way to and find a connection with Christ.  All music, from a simple hymn to a great masterwork, is a collective endeavor, experienced by both the listeners and the performers. Actively engaging in music brings the entire church family closer to each other and closer to God. Details...
