“Let your light shine…(to) give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
— Matthew 5:16
Jesus calls us to shine his light everywhere. At St. John the Divine, we believe Christ chooses each person to represent him, especially to those who don't know his love or are in need. We love Houston and strive to be brighter lights for the Gospel. Are you ready to Go and Serve?

St. John the Divine will once again welcome Lamar High School students each Monday afternoon for a free snack, a friendly smile, and a place where they know they belong. Whether we're serving popcorn, hot chocolate, snow cones, or another favorite treat, our goal remains the same: to create a welcoming space where students feel seen, supported, and encouraged.

Volunteers of all ages are invited to assemble hygiene kits for families served by our local mission partner, ECHOS!

Help us prepare for one of St. John the Divine's favorite fall traditions: Oktober on the Boulevard! On this special Service SUNDAY, we'll transform our campus and prepare for a day of fellowship, fun, and celebration. Volunteers will help set up tables, tents, decorations, activity areas, and other event essentials. No special skills are needed, just the willingness to lend a hand. Stay for an hour or the entire morning! We hope you'll join us.
