Opportunities for Fellowship, Service and Spiritual Growth

As parishioners, weare St. John's, and we create and sustain our community through our engagement with and for one another, and with and for our world. Through fellowship and service, we fulfill God's command to love our neighbor as ourselves and we grow as disciples of Christ. St. John's offers many opportunities for fellowship, fun and new friendships while you grow in discipleship through engagement in the life of the church.

Contact the Ministry and Committee Leaders listed below or Community Life Coordinator Anne Derse (301-401-5717, ) for more information on joining in on opportunities for fellowship, service and spiritual growth at St. John’s. Information on how to get involved is also available on the St. John's website, stjohnsnorwood.org.

Help support worship, spiritual growth, building community and making a difference - at St. John's, in our broader community and in the world. We look forward to welcoming you!
