St. John's Mission
Community Mission
The mission of St. John's Church, Episcopal school, and African
Palms is to demonstrate, nurture, and grow Christ-centered lives
for all people.
Parish Vision
St. John's Parish lifts hearts to God and shines his
light into the World by celebrating Jesus Christ through joyous
worship, welcoming evangelism, empowering education, proactive service,
and caring fellowship.
Additional Information About St. John's
St. John's community consists of three primary ministries:
- A Christ-Centered Parish Church that embraces all and ministers the love of Jesus with excellence and purpose.
- A K— 8 School that steeps children in the Christian faith while preparing them to become world-class scholars and people of integrity and character.
- An International Outreach Mission called "African Palms" which, through the sale of hand-woven Palm crosses, supports several villages in Tanzania while granting tens-of-thousands of dollars in annual development grants to local projects throughout Africa.
Ours is a rational faith emphasizing the importance of personal conscience that at the same time knows how to feed the spirit with mystery, beauty, and holiness.
