Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.
Matthew 25:40
The St. John’s Community Ministry Center, located on the corner of Church and Council streets, is a rent-free, home-base for local non-profits. Currently, the CMC houses Young Life, Scouts, Narcotics Anonymous, and Fellowship of Christian Athletes. The goal is help our partners maximize their ministry impact by removing rent and utility costs from their budgets.
