In the spirit of our patron, St. John the Evangelist, we strive to bring light into the world around us, make the Word of God flesh as we strive to be Jesus' hands and heart in the world, and love one another as we believe Jesus loved us.

Community Space
Building Team, Columbarium
A church is more than a building, but the four walls and roof that house us still need care and attention. We are fortunate to have a talented and hardworking team of volunteers and a new Sexton who keep our building running smoothly.
