St. John’s Community Ministries
St. John’s ministry in the community focuses on serving those who struggle to live, work, and raise their families in a high cost resort community. We do this through our food ministries:
Provide a free, weekly community dinner on Tuesday’s
Collect food for local food banks (FIRC and Father Dyer Food Pantry)
Prepare and deliver lunch every Friday to Timberline Adult Day Services
Deliver food to St. George Episcopal Church in Leadville
Support Thanksgiving to Go
We also participate in the Summit Colorado Interfaith Council which is a coalition of faith based and service organizations dedicated to fostering conversation and inspiring action to address issues requiring a response to human needs.
For information these and other activities please contact the Parish Administrator.
St. John’s is a Jubilee Ministry!
Jubilee Ministries are those that have committed themselves to “be a ministry of joint discipleship in Christ with poor and oppressed people, wherever they are found, to meet basic human needs, and to build a just society.”
The Jubilee Committee’s 2023 budget was $20,000. The committee’s giving supports food insecurity, mental health, housing, disaster relief, and black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC.) They researched and donated to the following organizations:
Episcopal Relief and Development - Aid to the earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria
Summit Colorado Interfaith Council - Aid to Nicaraguan refugees
Building Hope Summit County - Mental health scholarships for school aged children and youth
