Resourcing Our Mission
​
At St John’s, one of our core values is that “everyone gets to play.” We believe every member of our church family has a part to play in the life and mission of the church. A key role of our staff team is to equip, encourage, and support the wider church family to serve in a variety of ways.
​
Although we are currently staffed in line with our immediate needs, as we prepare for future growth and step into new opportunities, we recognise the importance of planning for additional staffing to help carry this momentum forward.
​
Looking ahead, we are beginning to explore how we might expand our team - particularly in areas such as groups, 0–18s ministry, and worship. Additional staff capacity will allow us to deepen our impact in the community, invest more in our children and youth across the week, and expand our vision for worship beyond Sunday mornings to include creative expressions throughout the life of the church.
​
Our staffing has reduced over recent years, a change that reflects necessary cost savings. While we have made good use of our resources, this reduction has meant scaling back some areas of ministry we would otherwise have liked to grow.
​
Spring Giving Week 2025
The Church is nearly entirely funded by donations from the church family, and we depend on significant one off giving to support the ongoing ministry. This Giving Week is an opportunity for you to give towards the general fund and resourcing the mission of St John's. As part of the Giving Week, we are seeking to raise £25K through one-off gifts - around 50% of our overall target for one-off giving in this year’s budget. In addition to one-off giving, we are asking people to revisit and increase their regular giving, specifically given the calling to expand our mission in the community and the additional resources this will take.
​
Regular monthly giving, including gift aid, is about £16K and we are looking to increase that by at least 15% over the next 2 to 3 years. We expect that this will be achieved by a combination of existing and new members.
​
With faith, wisdom, and generosity, we believe we can resource the next chapter of what God is doing through St John’s.
