The idea of mission is a core principle of the Christian faith. At St. John’s we are committed to partnering with God to do his work of redemption in this world by assisting those in need through financial giving, hands on assistance, and donating needed items to the poor, the sick, the friendless, the prisoner, the homeless, and anyone in need. From working with local charities and nonprofits to international mission trips, members of St. John’s make it a point to be involved.
Mercy House
On Thursdays, St. John’s and Church of the Ascension have a partnership to support Mercy House, a Montgomery non-profit organization. Five days a week Mercy House provides more than 200 meals to the less fortunate here in Montgomery. Through the food program and other ministries, Mercy House endeavors to create pathways of hope that have the potential to redirect lives and strengthen our community.
Our two churches provide four volunteers each Thursday from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. Lunches have already been prepared prior to our arrival; we will fill Styrofoam take-out containers with food and bag those containers along with other items into grocery sacks. We then hand those sacks out to the clients along with an encouraging word.
A Signup Genius has been set up to handle the scheduling of volunteers. Check your schedule and then click here to access the Sign-Up Genius.
This is another way for our churches to serve as God’s hands in our community. Please contact Charlie Harris (549-1491) or Scott Bamman (202-6884) with any questions.
Meals on Wheels
St. John’s partners with Montgomery Area Council on Aging (MACOA) to deliver meals via the Meals on Wheels Program.
Their mission is to assist senior citizens by providing services to promote independent living, offer opportunities to enhance quality of life, and to increase community awareness of senior issues. Food insecurity is a serious issue among 1 in 6 senior adults. Meals on Wheels drivers help remedy this issue, as well as provide a safety check and combat isolation.
St. John’s Meals on Wheels Drivers will deliver meals between 10 and 11 a.m. on the first and fifth Monday of each month. A route consists of approximately 10-12 stops and takes about an hour to complete. A ride-along training session is available for those who would like one! Sign up to help here or email constance@stjohnsmontgomery.org if you have questions.
Mission Trips
St. John’s Church has had a missionary presence in Honduras for over 10 years.
Local Mission & Outreach
At St. John’s Church we believe that God has called us to be witnesses of Christ’s love both here in our local community and abroad. We try to help those in need in our community both through gifts of our financial resources and personal involvement. Through our Outreach Grants program, which distributes over $100,000 annually, we offer grants both to faith-based and secular community agencies and programs.

Music & Choir
Music at St. John’s embraces the rich musical tradition handed down from the Church of England and the Episcopal Church USA to interweave the highest forms of music from the past and the present into our worship.
