Partnerships & Affiliations
We do not work alone
St. John partners with neighboring congregations, local schools, civic organizations, and county agencies so that help reaches the people who need it most. Where our resources end, our relationships continue the work.
We are proud to be a member of the Okefenokee Heritage Center Museum — Black Heritage Exhibit Committee (BHEC), helping preserve and share the Black heritage of Waycross and the Okefenokee region.
If your organization, foundation, or congregation would like to partner with us — in outreach or in the preservation of our historic building — we welcome the conversation.
