St. John Lutheran Church is committed to our community and world. Below are ways you can get involved. Please contact the church office for more information (office@stjohnfargo.com; 701-232-8521).
Mission Opportunities
Missions/Social Concerns Committee
The Committee seeks ways in which our congregation can help with the social welfare and humanitarian concerns of people on a local, national and global level. Programs include the ELCA World Hunger Appeal, the annual F-M Church World Service CROP Walk, and Habitat for Humanity.
Meal Preparation & Service (Churches United)
On the first Sunday of each month, volunteers from St. John prepare and serve dinner at Churches United for the Homeless in Moorhead. A total of 3 to 4 volunteers are needed; the time commitment goes from 4pm to 7pm.
New American Resettlement Committee
Members of the Committee meet to directly help a family of New Americans. Through Global Refuge (formerly LIRS), we meet specific needs, provide transportation, advocate for a New American family, and also help them understand our culture and how our government agencies work. The committee is assigned to one family for about a year, starting a few months before the family arrives in the US, and then is assigned to a different family.
Food Pantry
Volunteers are recruited to gather and pack grocery orders at the FM Emergency Food Pantry, which are distributed to people in a crisis situation. St. John usually volunteers to cover one week in May.
