The ministry of St. John is made possible by people who share their time, talents, experience, and care. Whether you have a little time to give, want to help regularly, or have a particular skill you’d like to share, there are many ways to get involved.
You don’t need to know exactly where you fit. Take a look at some of the ways you can participate in the life and ministry of St. John.
Help make worship happen each week. Serve as a reader or communion assistant, or share your voice by singing with the choir. Whether you participate regularly or occasionally, each role is an important part of our worship together.
Some of the best connections at St. John happen around a table. Help with Sunday fellowship, potlucks and special events, or lend a hand with refreshments, setup, or cleanup. Whether you bring something to share or simply help things come together, there’s a place for you.
Put faith into action by serving our neighbors. Help with our monthly Houseless Hub, where St. John works alongside community partners to provide resources and support to our houseless neighbors. You can also participate in Social Ministry projects, donation drives, special collections, and other opportunities to respond when needs arise, both here on O'ahu and beyond.
There are opportunities to help throughout the year, whether you can give a few hours, contribute needed items, or lend a hand with a special project.
Help create opportunities for children and youth to learn, grow, serve, and build relationships. Volunteers support education, youth activities, special events, and opportunities to connect with other young people and congregations across O'ahu.
Much of what keeps St. John going happens behind the scenes. Help count the weekly offering, lend a hand with campus and property projects, participate in work days, or help with the practical needs that arise around our church and campus.
Help shape the life and ministry of St. John by serving on Church Council or representing our congregation in the wider church community.
Council members help guide the congregation’s ministry, priorities, and future. Members of St. John also serve with the O'ahu Hukilau and OYEA, helping connect our congregation with other Lutheran congregations and ministries across the island.
You don’t need previous church leadership experience. Bring your perspective, your questions, and your care for St. John.
Have a skill or interest that doesn’t fit neatly into one of these categories? We’d still love to hear about it. Technology, communications, photography, gardening, repairs, organization, administration, design, and many other skills can support the ministry of St. John.
Tell us what you enjoy doing or what you’re good at, and we’ll help you find a way to use it.
Whether you already know where you’d like to help or you’re not quite sure where to start, we’d love to connect you with an opportunity that fits.
