Michelle DuPont , Parish Administrator
stjbar@att.net
My role as Parish Administrator covers a wide variety of duties: but almost all of them share a common thread - spending time with the people of St. John's Church, the best part of my ministry! As I pay the bills, spend time with families on details of Baptisms, Marriages and Funerals, work closely with our Stewardship Commission each year on the Every Member Canvass or just be a caring ear to those who need to talk, I am constantly reminded of how lucky I am to be part of this thriving community of St. John's. |

In our ever-changing youth program, we focus on fellowship, outreach, and our individual relationships with a personal God. It's a blessing to have the opportunity to to commune with young people on their sacred journeys of faith. I also spend a quarter of my time working with the church school, a program that is run by amazingly dedicated and able volunteers.
