“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.

We’re excited to introduce a new hands-on service opportunity at St. John the Divine! On Saturday, November 14, we will partner with CYCLEHouston.org for a special Build A Bike event right here on campus. Together, we’ll assemble brand-new bicycles that will be given to children in our community. For many of these kids, this bike will be more than just a gift: it represents freedom, confidence, and the simple joy of riding alongside friends. Register to help us build or donate!
