Our Mission & Values

Picture

​The mission of St. John's is to love God and love neighbor as Jesus did: welcoming all, serving humbly, teaching compassion, and making no peace with injustice.​
​
Our Values 
  • Welcome All: We strive to be a light of hope and are intentionally conscious of how our presence and activities outreach to our community and beyond.
  • Journey with Christ: We walk with Jesus as our way of transforming our lives and spreading Jesus’ love in our parish family and in our community.
  • Worship Joyfully: We worship with formational preaching, reflection time, uplifting music and song, and communion in a circle that welcomes all.
  • Build Trust and Exercise Integrity: We endeavor to live our lives trusting in the Gospel for our Christian formation and healing as we live into a vision of “acting on God’s behalf.”
  • Empower Parishioners: We follow our Christian values in how we live each day, offering all the freedom to grow their faith and equipping all for a life of service to others.
  • Practice Reconciliation: We share the Gospel, and it deepens our understanding of Jesus’ teachings, informs how we work together, shows us how to forgive continuously, and helps us experience the joy of God’s love.
  • Exercise Compassion: We reach out to those who are hungry, those who are homeless, those who are addicted, those who seek better language skills and those who seek healing and recovery.

Our Vision for 2020-25
In 2019, we went through a parish-wide discernment process, culminating in this vision of what we would like to see in the next 3-5 years at St. John's.
