Congregational Care is a ministry that strives to provide compassionate caring for our members by nurturing body, mind and spirit. At St. John’s, we hope to foster the health, healing, and wholeness of individuals, families, and the community. Congregational Care does not duplicate available services, such as nursing care, medical or community health services. It works as a collaborative partnership with these disciplines to offer resources, education and a communication network.
Parish Nurse Ministry
Parish nursing, or the newer term "faith community nursing", has a long and successful history in its connection to the health and well-being of members in faith communities across the country. It is a professional nursing role and provides physical, spiritual, emotional and social support.
Our parish nurse is an advocate for health, healing and wholeness. She is available to listen to health concerns; to make referrals to congregational and community resources; to provide support when making health care decisions; and is available just to listen. Other activities include the weekly prayer list, our bereavement ministry, and serving as a Stephen Leader.
Eucharistic Minister
The practice of carrying communion to the sick and homebound has been encouraged in the Lutheran tradition since 1978. St. John’s Eucharistic Ministers receive training so that they may serve those who are absent from worship.
Prayer Ministry
The St. John's Prayer Ministry includes our prayer warriors, 2nd Sunday pray-ers, and prayer groups.
St. John's is a vibrant, urban church centered in enthusiastic and inspirational worship, grace-filled service and rich opportunities for spiritual growth.
St. John's is a Reconciling in Christ Church of the Sierra Pacific Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).
