A MESSAGE FROM PASTOR MARK

What are services like?

There is no dress code at St. John’s. Please come as you are. The vibe here is approachable and comfortable. Worship is joyful and music-filled with traditional hymns vibrantly played on the Hendrickson organ, accompanied by vocal or instrumental music offered by members and guest musicians.

Children are Welcome

Children are at home at St. John’s. Worship includes a short children’s message each Sunday by Edith, St. John’s Director of Cross+Generational ministry. Your children are also welcome to attend Grace Place, our Sunday School program, on your first day here. Children between the ages of 0 and 4 years are welcome to sit with you or attend the Nursery with Diane.

Our Building is ADA Accessible

St. John’s is ADA accessible through the entrance covered by the burgundy awning labeled ‘Church Office.’ The ADA bathrooms and elevator are immediately ahead of you through those doors.

Ministries
