Who we are

More than a beautiful brick building,

we're a community.

We at St. John’s don't present ourselves as “finished products” of Christian understanding. Rather, we're a pilgrim people who've launched out in search of God’s truth and purpose for our lives, together. 

We are a congregation of pilgrims on our own journeys of faith, hoping to bring ourselves closer to God. Our compass is the steadfast teachings and traditions of the Episcopal church. Our rector is our captain, using his experience and education to read the compass of our religion and guide us on our journeys, offering a steady hand on the wheel when the waters of our lives get choppy. The beautiful red tower of St. John's is our lighthouse, promising safe harbor and keeping us away from the rocks when we find ourselves lost at sea. Our ship is broad and open to all looking for support, companionship, and direction as they chart their personal paths to God.

To be a community of Christians committed to the care, nourishment, and spiritual growth of all.

Our beliefs

We Episcopalians believe in a loving, liberating, and life-giving God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  We don’t pretend to have all the answers but we come together to share the questions.

Our Clergy, Vestry, and Staff

Meet the beautiful people who support us in our worship, exploration of faith, and in essentially all aspects of our lives. 

We Believe

In a loving, liberating, and life-giving God

whose life, death, and resurrection saved the world. 

 

We believe in inclusion and curiosity, and we aspire to better share and exemplify God’s love for every human being.
