The mission statement of the St. John’s West Bend Foundation is to, “Advance and Support the Mission and Vision of St. John’s for Today’s and Tomorrow’s Generations.”
The St. John’s Foundation has been established to assist families in their walk of "Stewardship is Discipleship . . . Discipleship is Stewardship." We believe every family should have a Lifetime Stewardship Plan. These discussions center on wills and living trusts, which includes guardianship for minors, and powers of attorney for medical and financial affairs. These Lifetime Stewardship conversations also help families develop a Family Blessing or Legacy Letter. In addition, we want to help families developing meaningful ways to transfer blessings to support both family and ministries at large.
The Foundation has recognized six designated areas of ministry:
- Missions
- Christian Education & Discipleship
- Campus Care
- Partners in Ministry
- Designated REACH Funds
- Undesignated
