Looking for Ways to Serve at
St. John's?

Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms  1 Peter 4:10

Altar Guild - The Altar Guild is a dedicated group of laypersons who care for the altar vestments, altar linens, and communion vessels. Members prepare the altar for worship services, including Holy Eucharist and ensure everything is properly cleaned and cared for afterward. Contact Lisa Clarkson 803-237-2892

Hospitality Committee - The Hospitality Committee provides receptions and fellowship gatherings for funerals, confirmations, baptisms, and visits from the Bishop. The committee works to ensure that parishioners and guests feel welcomed and supported during these special occasions and events.  Contact Debbie Davis 803-622-2929

Greeter - Volunteers serve as the welcoming face of the church, greeting visitors and members as they arrive for Sunday worship services.  Greeters help create a warm and inviting atmosphere to all who enter.  Contact Julie Claytor 803-606-2369
