St. John's Mission:
Commit ourselves to honor Christ through service, worship, education, evangelism and pastoral care. 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. Please call the church office at 704-366-3034 to learn more about our ministry and to get involved.
"We are not human beings in search of a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings in search of a human experience." - Pierre Tielhard de Chardin |

Update on the Rector Search
The vestry is fully committed to achieving transparency in the process to find our new Rector. To help maintain open communications we have developed a new section on this website called Rector Search. Regular updates on our progress will be posted here and copies of all previous communications on this subject will also be available for everyone's reference. You can navigate to this page by clicking Clergy / Rector Search from the top navigation or you can click through here or via the links section to the right. We hope you will visit often and will feel free to contact any vestry member with any questions.
