St. John Amelith School’s mission is to help children grow in faith, knowledge, and service, and our entire faith community plays a vital role in this call to action! The Christ-centered environment we’ve created at St. John’s is a reflection of the dedication and passion of numerous teachers, volunteers, families, and parishioners who pour their talents, wisdom, and time into nurturing the next generation of Christians. However, many are unaware of the integral part donors play in making St. John’s mission come to life.

Why Does Giving Matter?

Here at St. John Amelith, giving is more than simply a monetary transaction. When our donors make a gift, those funds are faithfully stewarded to support school capital needs, tuition assistance for low-income students, professional development for our dedicated staff, and dozens of other initiatives to enrich the lives of our students, families, and parishioners.

Matthew 6:21 tells us, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also,” and this holds true at St. John Amelith. Giving in support of this school’s mission is an investment in your local faith community and a testament to your passion for spreading the word and cultivating well-rounded students to carry on the mission. In short, your gifts help create a sustainable legacy for not only St. John’s itself, but also the hundreds of students and families that pass through these halls.

Your Gift’s Impact

As with most parochial schools, tuition costs are a small component of the expenses it takes to run a faith-filled educational environment. We’re committed to providing the highest quality of education and support to our students while also ensuring these resources remain accessible to families in our communities who may experience barriers associated with tuition costs. This is where your gifts come in! Fundraising helps bridge the gap between what our students’ families can pay and what the school needs to retain dedicated teachers, stay up-to-date on best practices within education, and upgrade technology and facilities as needed.

Because of your generous contributions, a child who may not otherwise have the opportunity to attend a Christian school is able to receive tuition assistance, our library is able to replace outdated books and classroom technology, our teachers and faculty can attend conferences and trainings to better serve their students, and our music, art, and athletics programs can grow to provide full-person enrichment to students of all ages.

Every gift, no matter the size, makes a tangible difference in the lives of students at St. John Amelith Lutheran School. With the 2025-2026 school year on the horizon, we want to invite you to share in the joy of giving, whether through a one-time gift, a monthly contribution, a legacy gift, or even through participation in our numerous fundraising events throughout the school year. Together, we can share our faith, support our faith communities, and provide meaningful faith-based education for years to come.
