Testimonials

I found St John during my search for a community of faith that is inclusive and values everyone. From the moment I entered St John I experienced an extravagant welcome. The congregational members went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. St John truly lives their Open and Affirming commitment. Worship Services are relevant to current events and applicable to our everyday lives. This is a church that encourages us to bring our authentic selves to worship.
