Ministry & Mission Chair
The Ministry and Mission Team exists to support and encourage the people of St John’s as they carry out ministry and mission. We seek to equip members of the congregation in their faith journey and service, helping individuals and groups use their gifts to build up the church and serve the wider community.
We also support and review initiatives that foster worship, discipleship, care, outreach, and community engagement, both locally and globally. In doing so, we ensure that ministry activities align with the theology of the LCA, the vision and mission of St John’s Lutheran Church, and our strategic goals. We report regularly to the Pastor and Church Council on opportunities, challenges, and progress.
