St. John’s Outreach & Opportunities

This is our best understanding of God’s calling for our congregation!
His Mission for Us:
Empowered by God’s Spirit, we are here to give glory to God by using as many ways as possible to bring as many people as possible into:

* A life-long, personal relationship with Christ.
* A life-long, growing commitment to Christ.
* A lifetime of joyfully serving Christ.

We believe life without Jesus Christ is no life at all. We want all people to experience the peace and security of being a loved child of God. Jesus makes this all possible by His death on the cross, His rising from the dead, and His ascension into heaven.

His Values for Us:
*Great Commission Outreach
*Share God’s Love
*God’s Word – Biblical Truth
*Salvation
*Personal Relationship with God
*God’s Will
*School

His Vision for Us:
St. John will be a beacon of hope in our community, serving many through loving and caring actions. Our school will be known by the witness of lives that were nurtured through Christian education.
Our guests will be welcomed, loved, and embraced. They will be accepted as they are by people who exemplify God’s love. We will include our guests like family, and many will return.
Our members will run the race together, united by Christ’s love. We will care for each other, nurture each other, and teach each other God’s truth. We will grow tall in Christ, and be secure in our salvation!

We will pray and work in unity and singleness of purpose to help each member of St. John to become involved in both worship and ministry, so that we will grow tall in Christ, to reach all with Christ, TOGETHER.
