Anglican Church in North America
Global Anglican Future Conference
PERRY WELLNESS CENTER is a mental health and addiction center that lifts up those with mental illness and additive disorders by improving their quality of life through the Center’s programs. At St. John’s, PWC produces fresh vegetables year round for resale to the public and to feed their clients at their local center. Our first harvest fed 110 people and we have fed thousands since then. Additionally, the congregation comes together at Christmastime to provide gifts to the Center’s clients and friends.
THE FULLER CENTER FOR HOUSING is dedicated to providing homeownership opportunities to God’s people in need, people who have no other access to owning their own home. Our work is done through our covenant partner organizations in 80 U.S. cities and 20 other countries. St. John’s supports the ministry of The Fuller center by providing support to volunteers working in Americus and Sumter County.
