The elders and deacons at St. John's work closely together to live out the vision and mission of the church through four teams: Celebration, Commitment, Community, and Compassion. If you would like more information or would like to get involved, please contact the teams.

CELEBRATION is connecting all to God’s presence in our worship and in our lives. In worship, we are reminded and reassured of our identity as God’s children and our call to invite and welcome others into the presence of God.

COMMITMENT is connecting all to one’s faith. Our commitment to God, the church, and each other is a sign of our spiritual maturity in our faith. We are all connected to a common call as children of God. We commit to that call as our response to God’s love and our desire to share God’s compassion.

COMMUNITY is connecting each to one another. God calls us to be in community. As a community of faith, we are connected to each other in faith, love, and hope. Being in community involves inviting others to be a part of our church family by supporting and empowering one another to use our God-given gifts.

COMPASSION is connecting all to service. As brothers and sisters in Christ, we are connected to our community and world. Outreach is both inviting the “least of these” into our family and going out into the world in service.

Deacons are the eyes and ears of the congregation, keeping the pulse of the congregation's desires and needs at attention. Deacons focus on the individual needs within the congregation.

Elders communicate the outreach and vision of St. John's to the congregation. Together with the pastors, they encourage the people in worship and service to God, equip and renew them for their tasks within the church and for their mission in the world. Elders focus on the big picture direction for the congregation.
