“I was looking for a church to attend, because after almost four decades of being an ordained minister, it would have been hard to stop going to church. It is clear that at St. John’s, the clergy and guest preachers take preaching seriously.”
Ken first came to St John’s because of our historic Skinner organ. “I was drawn to the Episcopal Church largely because of the legacy of the Anglican choral music.”
“Caleb says, ‘I’d gladly yap away about anything to do with volleyball, early Christianity, Appalachia, or education policy—a real nerd here.'”
“It’s funny how one word can lead you on an entire journey.”
“The groundswell of folks who have ideas for new ways to connect feels like a move of the Spirit, God responding to the cries of God’s people.”
“Our deep longing is for the kind of friendships where we feel supported, valued, and seen for who we are—something we rarely experience and that may seem unattainable.”
“Beyond the music, which I absolutely love, one of the things I really like about St. John’s is the commitment to service and engagement with the community.”
“Chris’s degree is in art and they’re usually working on some creative artistic project. ‘I’ve also been a fantasy geek for a long time—currently very interested in Tolkein, if anyone wants to talk about that.’”
“Anne is a lifelong Episcopalian. She ran into Sue Mercier at Marvella where they live and discovered they were both Episcopalians. Sue had been attending St. John’s and invited Anne to join her.”
“Heidi was looking for an LGBTQ+ affirming church and came across the Episcopal denomination. They decided to stay at St John’s and become a member because of the thriving community and the enthusiastic, diverse congregation.”
