St. John's invites you to consecrate the prayerful pilgrimage of your...
St. John’s is home to a fairly new community, rebuilding the church after a significant transition in 2001, when a large portion of its congregation left the Episcopal Church. This transition left 10 parishioners whose beliefs in the values of the above Mission Statement were strong. Their perseverance and dedication to this church gave the place new life. Since then, our membership has grown to 175 baptized members and averaging 55 communicants each Sunday morning.
Our congregation is a devoted and inspirational community. The best way to convey their thoughts about St. John’s is to quote them directly! “This is a wonderful church with a good congregation. Churches like this need to do more than exist-they need to thrive.” “It has always been clear to me that the intentions and vision of the community as a whole are genuine and true, strengthened by scripture and God’s love and guidance.” “…It was evident that all were welcomed and loved, not only by God, but by the members of the congregation.” “The inclusiveness appealed to me, as did the message, so I came one Sunday for comfort and kept returning because I love it.” “In welcoming all at the communion table, nothing better indicates God’s love for the whole human family…” “A loving, supportive group of people doing God’s work and abiding in God’s love and guidance.” All members of St. John’s have a clear understanding of the Mission Statement and firmly believe in the values it teaches.
St. John’s congregation is determined to proclaim the gospel of God’s love to ourselves, the surrounding community, and the world. We advocate Peace and Justice in our teachings and outreach. We strive to stay focused on living our vision in everything we do here; worship, programs and activities.
