“The quality of the music and preaching, together with the friendly, welcoming people, convinced me that this is a community where I would feel comfortable.”

“Hearing moving, timely, and great sermons…well, I knew I was in the right place!”

“St. John’s is truly the first church community that feels like home.”

“I found the services very moving, the sermons compelling and surprising, and the community welcoming.”

“I thought I’d give St. John’s a try and it was more than just a good fit— ittruly felt like home.”

“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.”

“This is the first time we’ve been involved in a church as a family, so we’re kind of learning what that means as we go. It’s been a meaningful and generative routine for us all to go to church every Sunday.”

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.'”

“Sarah is passionate about racial justice, working with social justice organizations as a grant writer. Alex once designed and drove a solar electric car across the continent of Australia.”
