St. John's Episcopal Church

For more than a hundred years, St. John's has served as a vibrant center for worship and fellowship. Our faith tradition is known by the motto seen on signs in big cities and small towns across the country: "The Episcopal Church Welcomes You." Our community takes that phrase to heart, opening our hearts and our worship to everyone, especially those who may have been turned off by or turned away from previous church experiences for any reason.

St. John's is a community built on varied backgrounds and faith experiences; we love our tradition and rituals, but we love people even more.  We are committed to opening our doors as wide as possible because we pattern our lives after Jesus' teachings and His message of radical welcome and inclusive love.

This is an exciting and challenging time for St. John’s. We are in a time of transition between rectors (senior pastors). Pastor Dana Runestad joined our transition journey as interim pastor on October 9, 2017 (see bio here). We are taking the time to engage in a process of discovery, exploring questions like “Who are we?,” “What’s going on here?,” “Who are our neighbors?,” and “What is God calling us to be and do in this place at this time?” Another way to say it is, “Be who you are, see what you have, do what matters to God.” Because we have an interim rector, we have the luxury of taking the time to be thorough about this process. We are preparing to live into the next chapter God has in store, and call our next rector who has the gifts, skills and passion to help lead us there. In the meantime, we worship, learn and serve together in the name of Christ.
