Mission Partners

The work of sharing the knowledge and love of Christ near and far, is a great noble work we are both called, commanded and encouraged to do by the Lord Jesus. At St. John's we gladly partner with other organisations, individuals and groups beyond the local church to make this happen.

These partnerships are decided by our Parish Council leaders on a yearly basis, and we aim to profile each via a 'Mission Sunday' spot in each service on the second Sunday of the month. We pray regularly for these partners. We also give money to each and where appropriate, encourage the participation of our church.
