| St. John's Reaches Out to the Community |
| |
The purpose of St. John's is to be a community of people who believe in Christ.
Just as Jesus is the visible sign of God's incarnation, may we become a visible sign of
His love to each other, the community, and the world. - The Vestry
As a Christian community, we believe that we are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ. We strive, with God's help, to engage in significant outreach by responding to the needs of others. It is our intention to involve all age groups with the church, using a wide variety of gifts and talents in our outreach efforts. We address issues such as hunger, shelter, health care, and evangelism. If you would like to be involved in any of the following activities, please call the church office at 704-366-3034.
