Fellowship of St. John the Divine
Welcome to the Diocese of Toledo and the Midwest Fellowship Homepage!
The Fellowship of St. John the Divine is the “service arm” of the Diocese of Toledo and the Midwest! Our organization identifies the needs of our Diocese and establishes programs and ministries to carry out those needs, thus attaining the goal of God-pleasing worship and service to our churches. We welcome all parishoners to our group, whether you have just “graduated” from Teen SOYO, or whether you have been a vital part of your church for decades! Young adult, married, single college student, senior…if you are willing to work, we welcome you to the Fellowship with open arms! As St. Paul said, “for as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ” (1 Cor. 12:12). We are all called to use our unique talents to work together as the Body of Christ! To read more about this organization click here.
