Saint John's Christian Church

Mission

St. John's has historically possessed a strong sense of calling and commitment to ministries of mission and service.  It is one of the hallmark qualities of our congregation.  Members of our church family are afforded many and various opportunities to live out the call of the Gospel to "love your neighbor" and to minister to "the least of these."  The missions program of St. John's involves both monetary support and hands-on involvement.

Statement of Faith
This church acknowledges as its sole Head, Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the Savior of all people.  It acknowledges as brothers and sisters in Christ all who share in the confession.  It looks to the Word of God in the Scriptures, and to the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, to prosper its creative and redemptive work in the world.  It claims as its own the faith of the historic Church expressed in the ancient creeds and reclaimed in the basic insights of the Protestant Reformers.  It affirms the responsibility of the Church in each generation to make this faith its own.  In accordance with the teaching of our Lord and the practice prevailing among evangelical Christians, it recognizes two Sacraments:  Baptism and Holy Communion.
