JOIN US FOR WORSHIP EVERY SUNDAY, 10 AM – IN PERSON OR ON ZOOM

Come discover St. John's!

Join us in pursuing — or renewing — meaningful spirituality, to discover the healing power of forgiveness and grace, the relevance of faith in today’s world.
Most of all, to experience the presence of a loving God. Together, we’ll seek understanding and wisdom
in our commitment to justice for all people and for our planet. We look forward to meeting you.
