Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received.
1 Peter 4:10
God calls us to get our hands dirty in our own community. Our faith family is engaged in the Salisbury community seeking to make a difference in education, hunger and homelessness.

3rd Grade Reading Initiative
Join ROAR- Reading Outreach Around Rowan!
We know that 3rd grade literacy rates help determine the anticipated need for prison spaces in an area. At St. John’s, we are committed to making an impact on 3rd graders who struggle to read. Each week tutors meet with students at Isenburg Elementary School for two-hours to practice reading, writing, and comprehension skills. We invite you to volunteer one to two hours a week and make an impact on the lives of these students.

We believe in the potential of our community. That’s why we are leading a partnership with the school system, city of Salisbury, police department, Hood Seminary, and other churches to bring racial equity training to Rowan County.
