JUNE DISCIPLE OF THE MONTH:
DAVIS STASSFURTH
How long have you been a member of Saint John’s? What brought you here? What is your church background?
I have been a member at Saint John’s for a year and a half. I joined with my family as we were looking for a new church home in 2024. Before I was a member at Saint John's, I was a member at Corpus Christi Chatham for several years. Thankfully Saint John’s was very welcoming and has become a critical part of not only my faith journey but my life journey as well.
What is your favorite thing(s) about Saint John’s? What about Saint John’s inspires or excites you?
I love many things at Saint John’s from our beautiful music to our amazing outreach programs and beautiful services especially the Easter Vigil. However, my favorite part of Saint John’s is the people. Everyone is very welcoming and inviting. I have been asked to join our council and choir, but also the rest of my family has been included as well, inviting them to activities such as the Financial Committee, Fellowship Committee, Youth Group, and the Special Events committee. Thank you to all the Saint John’s members who have welcomed us.
Tell us something about your hobbies, work, family, pets, secret talent.
Outside of Saint John’s I participate in several activities including the New Providence High School Marching Band, The New Providence High School Musical, Model UN, The New Providence Varsity Golf Team, and recently I earned my Eagle Scout award for Scouting America.
What ministries are you involved in?
I am on Council as a youth member and a part of our tenor section in the choir. I also participate in our youth group. Another part of service I volunteer for is as an assistant minister, which I also enjoy greatly.
What is your favorite Bible verse, hymn, or church season?
My favorite bible verses are the parable the prodigal son and my confirmation verse, Jeremiah 29:11-13a. Both of these verses are beautiful and teach meaningful messages such as forgiveness and hope that are important to remember in our everyday lives.
