Mission

Loving our neighbors, near and far.

Anchor House

St. John’s provides and maintains low-cost housing to long-term medical patients from outside the Houston area. The name “Anchor House” was chosen because St. John’s wanted the apartment to be the patient’s home-away-from-home.

Community Garden
We have completed 8 garden beds and our gardeners are planting spring vegetables. Our group now includes ~15 gardeners. We hope to continue to expand our garden in the near future by adding more garden beds, inviting PCHAS residents to participate and eventually adding a prayer area near the garden. Come and see our garden grow!
 
Please call the church office, 713-723-6262, if interested in joining the community garden.

Uganda Orphanage

St. John’s and its members support Ugandan children living at the Lulwanda Children’s Home, an orphanage run by the Grace International Children’s Foundation. Donations help pay for food, clothing, books, and tuition. Volunteers also travel to Uganda to help develop school curriculum, train teachers, and offer other support to the children and staff at the Lulwanda home.
