Volunteer Opportunities

St. John Chrysostom is a very vibrant and active faith community. We have over 500 volunteers in approximately 35 different ministries and groups. Approximately 200 volunteers minister in high risk level positions and over 300 in general risk level positions - very impressive numbers that include the Altar Servers, Church Environment Committee, Companion Servers, Community Bread members and everyone in between.

Nevertheless we always welcome more help. In the words of Ethel Percy Andrus: "It is only in the giving of oneself to others that we truly live."

On this web site you will find information about all the volunteering opportunities at St. John's.

Click on the active links on the right (preceded by a purple box) for more information on each ministry or group. The inactive links will be updated as the information is added to the website, but for now please call the office for further information.
