Our Ministries

St. John’s has been partnering with Gadsden Elementary for a number of years in order to support their mission to grow academically successful students.
Some of the projects we have been involved in are:
​
-
School Supply Drive – Every August church members donate school supplies to be used by the students and teachers.
-
Adoption of a family at Christmas
-
Weekend Backpack Program – Supplemental meals and healthy snacks are donated, bagged, and sent home with 20 students every Friday during the school year.
-
Faculty Appreciation - the ECW provides refreshments for the school staff in appreciation for all their hard work.
-
Student Incentive Program - bikes and scooters were donated to students who showed most improvement on testing scores during statewide testing.
-
Little Lending Library - children have enjoyed having a variety of books to read and are encouraged to choose books to take home to read. We concentrate on stocking our little library in the fall.
