Get Involved

“As each has received a gift, employ it for one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: 11 whoever speaks, as one who utters oracles of God; whoever renders service, as one who renders it by the strength which God supplies; in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” 1 Peter 4:10-11

WELCOME TABLE

We are the people who greet and get to know everyone who walks into our meetings or services. We register newcomers and introduce them to St John family.

Sign up to participate in the various current activities or to volunteer your time to serve with us using your unique God-given talents.

TECH/AV

We set up all tech equipment including audio and video for all church services including liturgy, fellowship, and meetings. We capture live media for streaming and maintain an archive of all spiritual messages.

HYMNS

We are the team that introduces you to the ancient hymns of the Coptic Orthodox Church, translated into English, as we explain and lead the chanting of hymns during prayer time.

BLESSED BREAD-MAKING

We bake the Blessed Bread that is used in the Liturgy. One loaf is selected to be consecrated for the Holy Eucharist, while the remainder are simply blessed for distribution at the end of the service.

We are the face and voice of the fellowship. We will announce all the latest events and introduce the various segments of our spiritual meetings.
