The Shelter Ministry
The Shelter Ministry gathers early on Sunday mornings to prepare and serve at Gateway 180 Homeless Shelter at 1000 North 19th Street. We need approximately 10–15 people — more is always welcome.
Casual clothes and a friendly atmosphere make this ideal for singles, couples, families, and groups of friends. No experience needed — just a willingness to help people in need. Cooks, servers, and clean-up volunteers are all essential.
Sign up to help, or contact Bill Wallace directly.

Education Equity Ministry
Born during the pandemic in 2020, the Education Equity Ministry partners with Sumner High School and Columbia Elementary School on St. Louis Avenue. The goal is to engage with these schools by being present and listening.
As needs are identified, the ministry connects schools to community resources, meets urgent needs of students and families through donations, and advocates for policy changes that address education inequities.
To join, contact Mary Ann Cook — you’ll be added to the membership list and notified when needs arise, and receive invitations to school events.

Ministry of Racial Reconciliation
Established in November 2020 in response to Bishop Johnson’s renewed call for action, the Ministry of Racial Reconciliation provides spiritual guidance as we wrestle with the complexities of racism and racial division in the St. Louis region.
The ministry offers classes, discussions, and other opportunities for exploring the history and ongoing effects of racism; multiple opportunities for direct action; and serves as a hub for information among all ministries bearing on this issue.
