Our Worship Statement

We take the United Methodist’s ministry and mission statement "Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors" to heart, and we hope that you will feel safe and included when visiting our church.

Worship is central to the life of St. John's United Methodist Church, and we extend an open invitation to you with the hope that you will find spiritual meaning and significance.

We believe in the possibility of life. Our message is one of hope, a positive statement that all life is sacred. Here you will find an alternative way to live, one that refuses to accept the negative messages so easily available in the world today.

We hope that you will come and join us for an open, welcoming service, where no one is turned away.
