An Open and Affirming Congregation of the United Church of Christ
Mission Statement
St. John’s is a community of faith centered in Jesus Christ,
seeking guidance and direction through the Holy Spirit,
and demonstrating God’s love to all people in words and deeds.
Approved by congregation on October 31, 1999.
St John’s is a member of the “God is Still Speaking” movement within The United Church of Christ. The Stillspeaking Ministry was initiated in 2004 as a proclamation, identity and communication effort designed to:
* Speak to the alienated, the un-churched and those seeking a spiritual home
* Let people know that “No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here.”
* Embrace a common brand and theme that would enable the United Church of Christ to be instantly recognizable to those both within and outside the denomination.
The “God is Still Speaking” movement adopted the comma as the symbol of our movement based on a thoughtful quote from a well known American entertainer.
Never place a period where God has placed a comma.
- Gracie Allen, 20th century American comedian
