Hope
“I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word, I put my hope” - Psalm 130:5
At St. John’s, we are a vibrant, engaged community of faith dedicated to creating a welcoming space for all. With hearts open to everyone, we are committed to sharing the transformative Good News of Jesus Christ and embodying His love in all we do.
We Seek a Rector Who Inspires
We seek a rector who will inspire us to see our need for God’s grace, just as those we serve do. Reflecting on our history, we understand how easily self-righteousness, paternalism, and pride can emerge. Our goal is to remain deeply rooted in the truth of God and our identity in Christ, serving our neighbors with humility.
We also hope for an inspiring rector who fully embraces our community’s diversity and will lead us in creating spaces where individuals from all backgrounds feel welcome to explore their beliefs and share their insights freely.
Our Community Thrives
Our community thrives through engagement and leadership, anchored by a well-established history in the city. Our mission is to know Christ through the Gospel and to use our talents and gifts to extend His light to the world.
Our wardens and vestry, a blend of seasoned and new members, stand united in purpose. With our ordained clergy associates, apostolates, and lay leaders, we look forward to partnering with you in our shared mission.
