The Mission of St. John's:

His acceptance of us by ministering to one another and by reaching out to others. St. John's Episcopal Church offers many possibilities for worship, service, education, fun, fellowship and spiritual growth. Each of us brings our own unique abilities and gifts to God's service. We hope that you will join us as we minister to each other, our community, and the world.
As a Christian community we believe that we are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ in our community. We strive, with God's help, to engage in significant outreach, including addressing issues of hunger, shelter, health care and evangelism.
