We hold our worship services Sunday mornings at 9:30 AM. We also record our service and post the video on Facebook and here on our webiste later in the day so those that wish to can watch from home.
We, the church of St. John strive to honor and serve God in all we do. We gather as a faithful community, actively worshipping God through word and sacrament, and strive to seek and serve Christ, by whose saving grace we are nourished and empowered.

Our Pastor:
Pastor Kevin Duffy-Guy has been at our church for several years now and has helped us to define and find a focus for our mission in our church, make a commitment to christian outreach both in our community and globally, and create new ministries to empower our members, make us more active christians, and help our church grow in spirit.
Church Leadership:
The Consistory is composed of the Pastor, Elders and Deacons. It is the governing body of our church, elected by church members at our annual congregational meeting. It has the responsibility to care for and control of the property of the congregation and controls all church activities and organizations. Consistory meetings are held on a monthly basis on the Monday evening following a Communion service. Meetings are held at 7 PM.
